Just a search away... (1)

Technically yes but not directly from the base OS, you'll need a FreeBSD
8.3 machine to build packages for. Remember that pfSense 2.1 is based on
8.3 and that current ports tree has removed support for this FreeBSD
release. You'll have to use an older version of the ports tree.
Read more here in the forums(2) concerning this topic.

pkg_add is available right in the base OS. However again: pkg_tools will
be phased out this year too in favour of pkg-ng(4).

pfSense 2.1 is a quite nicely update-date-patched 8.3 but but the base
is aging. That is why 2.2 is going to be based on 10.x :-) Currently no
pkg-ng is inside pfSense base system.

Be cautious with it (i.e. installing things that depend on openssl from
ports, as some software inside the base OS does use OpenSSL from ports
located in /usr/local/ (i.e. OpenVPN).

If you overwrite it with your own it will likely break things in the
base OS.
