Is it possible to download a package and its dependencies, to PKG_CACHE 
for instance, without installing anything?

afaik nope. Maybe later? The usual recommendation is to set up a test
system to download and install everything on. Then grab the PKG_CACHE
from there.
In principle you could use the pkg_* perl modules to parse and walk
the dependency tree for you, too.

Just use pkg_add -n.  It'll place the package and all dependencies in
PKG_CACHE without actually installing the package or dependencies.
