Set the PKG_PATH env variable. Then, if a particular package can't be found, the directories in the PKG_PATH are searched. That way, you can stick the ftp server in there and if the package isn't installed already or in a local dir, it'll fetch it from the ftp site. You can stick it in your ~/.bashrc, ~/.cshrc whatever. It's colon delimited and each dir/path needs to be terminated with a '/' like: export PKG_PATH=./:/packages/:ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/packages/i386/ Hope this helps.
