I thought there was a variable to be set for that but just couldn't find it. Maybe I'm just trippin'. Anyway, one way to save the downloaded binary packages is to use pkgtools/pkgin. It's described as:
Quote:
pkgin is aimed at being an apt / yum like tool for managing pkgsrc binary packages. It relies on pkg_summary(5) for installation, removal and upgrade of packages and associated dependencies, using a remote repository.
It make's a cache of installed binary package in /var/db/pkgin/cache/ directory.

pkgin has recently been added to DragonFlyBSD base: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarc.../msg00088.html
