you can't do this. /var/db/pkg only holds packages. This will confuse
pkg_add when you try to update things.
Apart from this, this is a really tough problem, because of infrastructure
issues. Basically, our mirrors are not that reliable, and the closest
one often won't have the packages you need... which is a reason why it's
mostly some user settings...
