go to /var/db/pkg

as root, do:

# ls partial*

the output are the partial packages you have to delete
with pkg_delete

This is what I do since my pkg_add sometimes fails due to an unannounced
power outage or a network outage. (I have fixed both now)

# pkg_info|grep partial

Then delete it with 

# pkg_delete partial-foo...

But then sometimes power goes off when our good friend doesn't even get
time to register a partial install. Then you have to manually delete the
offending files.

# pkg_add foo 12 /tmp/conflict.txt

Then do a grep, cut and some other UNIX jugglery to get rid of the
problem files.

Best,
