You don't have it set. See NetBSD guide chapter on how to set up this so you could install binary packages.

It seem's you don't have the Internet connection set, or at best you forgot to put nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf (more like it). See resolv.conf(5) or http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/...e-modem-resolv for more details.

This comes as result of failing to provide PKG_PATH.

I don't know how could you install anything, unless it was working well and then you messed with the configs. Maybe you got it all set and then rebooted so you lost all the configs?
