To force reinstall of a package that you already have installed (e.g. after some filesystem damage has removed a file you need), use pkg_add -r -D installed <pkgname> (btw, since it seems to be a meme, "-D installed" is not a general purpose thing, it is just for special cases like this or during testing - if you find some package is just not getting updated with pkg_add -u when it should be, tell porters about it so they can find why it's not getting updated and fix it for everyone)
