I'm beginer, it's a bit difficult with IPV4, but with IPV6 that is very difficult.
This is not a choice IPV6. I don't know why it's used.
It's the default, you got your answer here.

Don't use 3.x - it is officialy not supported anymore.

See the man page for ftp(1), it says:
Code:
    -a          Causes ftp to bypass normal login procedure, and use an
                 anonymous login instead.
And if you don't want the ftp to probe for IPv6 first, then:
Code:
    -4          Forces ftp to only use IPv4 addresses.
Concerning the PKG_PATH, if you use 5.x then you just have to uncomment one line in either ~/.profile or ~/.cshrc (it depends what shell you use), re-read file and try pkg_add command again:
Code:
# uncomment the PKG_PATH line in .profile, and then

. /root/.profile
pkg_add -v gnome
