Doing pkg_add in the normal way:

Error: Unable to get

File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
To make it work:
setenv PACKAGESITE
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-stable/devel/
pkg_add -r diffuse-0.4.6_2
Is this just the way it is, or is there some magic to make it somewhat less
tedious?
I think this behaviour is intended: RC3 is the 3rd release
candidate for 9.1-RELEASE. The candidate already reflects the
correct access path for the binary installs via pkg_add.
This path _will be_ correct as soon as 9.1 has been released.
But as it it's not _yet_, the files are not present at the
designated location.
As 9.1-RC3 is on the path of 9-STABLE, your approach of
accessing the STABLE-related access path looks valid.
