OpenBSD has a environment variable PKG_PATH which you can set to a mix of local and remote directories.
Code:
     PKG_PATH     If a given package name cannot be found, the directories
                  named by PKG_PATH are searched.  It should contain a series
                  of entries separated by colons.  Each entry consists of a
                  directory name, ending in a slash.  URL schemes such as FTP,
                  HTTP, HTTPS, or SCP are also appropriate.  The current di-
                  rectory may be indicated implicitly by an empty directory
                  name, or explicitly by a single period (`./').
Doesn't the FreeBSD PKG_PATH do something similar? From the FBSD pkg_add man page:
Code:
     The value of the PKG_PATH is used if a given package cannot be found.
     The environment variable should be a series of entries separated by
     colons.  Each entry consists of a directory name.	The current directory
     may be indicated implicitly by an empty directory name, or explicitly by
     a single period.
The question of course is what in the FreeBSD PKG_PATH is a 'directory name'

FreeBSD pkg_add also knows PACKAGESITE. From the FBSD man page
Code:
     The environment variable PACKAGESITE specifies an alternate location for
     pkg_add to fetch from.  This variable subverts the automatic directory
     logic that pkg_add uses when the -r option is invoked.  Thus it should be
     a complete URL to the remote package file(s).
