Unless you have fairly recent pkg5 bits, you'd need to run a depot
pointing toward that location (pkg.depotd -d
/net/hyper.sfbay/tank/ws/cy152378/clr/drop1/packages/sparc/nightly/repo.extra)

Recent pkg bits (I think build 140 and above?) support file:// URIs in
the client, and you should be able to specify
file:///net/hyper.sfbay/tank/ws/cy152378/clr/drop1/packages/sparc/nightly/repo.extra
as an package origin directly, though this may not be wise with NFS
paths, as the code somewhat assumes access to the filesystem to be
low-latency.
