Well the pkg_add man page seems to disagree:
If the given package names are not found in the current working
directo-
ry, pkg_add will search for them in each directory named by the
PKG_PATH
environment variable. Since a few URL schemes contain colons,
pkg_add
relies on each directory ending in a / to split the path
correctly.
