php depends on libxml, pkg_add tries to download it, and downloaded archive is broken. pkg_add uses "/etc/installurl" to find website to download packages. You may try different website (echo "https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/"; > /etc/installurl)
Also, try to download this file and unpack it. If $ wget https://ftp.fau.de/pub/OpenBSD/6.3/packages/amd64/libxml-2.9.8.tgz $ tar xvfz libxml-2.9.8.tgz (you may need pkg_add wget) Does it work?
