Set the PKG_PATH env variable. Then, if a particular package can't be
found, the directories in the PKG_PATH are searched. That way, you can
stick the ftp server in there and if the package isn't installed already
or in a local dir, it'll fetch it from the ftp site.

You can stick it in your ~/.bashrc, ~/.cshrc whatever.

It's colon delimited and each dir/path needs to be terminated with a '/'
like:

export PKG_PATH=./:/packages/:ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/packages/i386/

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Steve Laurie
