Or set PACKAGESITE to:

See pkg_add(1) for details.
This will usually work for legacy stable branches, but you may actually need
to update your system to a more recent stable version once in a while.
Additionally take a look at the '-P' and '-PP' flags for portupgrade
(And I guess the other port upgrade tools have similar options); this
way it will use packages for upgrading your software instead of ports.
