All the 4-stable packages on the ftp sites should have been replaced
by the .tgz versions for RC2 now. I guess the only .tbz packages
you're going to find will be ones for 5-CURRENT, and they're no good
to you.
However, you could try downloading the .tgz packages from the ftp
sites, and recompressing them:
fetch fetch
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/foo.tgz
gzcat foo.tgz | bzip2 -c > foo.tbz
pkg_add foo.tbz
Cheers,
Matthew
