pkg_add works perfectly fine with these packages, they are just not provided by OpenBSD. That means you have to build the packages yourself and then pkg_add -r and -u will work, assuming your PKG_PATH environment variable is set correctly or you use absoulte pathnames. BTW: Providing details means as well to provide exact comand lines and error messages. Interpretations of error messages are basically useless.
