The command  seems to  be correct  but  not  complete according to the man page 
pkgadd  is not aware of the proxy you have  given to your  browser 

the pkgadd  man page says :

----------------------------------------------------

  -x proxy

         Specify a HTTP[S] proxy to use when downloading packages
         The  format  of  proxy  is  host:port, where host is the
         hostname of the HTTP[S] proxy,  and  port  is  the  port
         number  associated with the proxy. This switch overrides
         all other methods of specifying a proxy. See ENVIRONMENT
         VARIABLES  for  more information on alternate methods of
         specifying a default proxy.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     HTTPPROXY

         Specifies an HTTP proxy host.  Overrides  administration
         file setting, and http_proxy environment variable.

     HTTPPROXYPORT

         Specifies the port  to  use  when  contacting  the  host
         specified by HTTPPROXY. Ignored if HTTPPROXY is not set.

     http_proxy

         URL format for specifying proxy host and port. Overrides
         administration file setting.

-------------

But it does not tell which  proxy protocol  it uses  
Pkgadd  is ancient (1988) , it predates  the http protocol.   
(  1993 )    and might well  expect  a  SOCKS proxy .
