The relevant fix is here:
  
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/extract.
c#rev1.25.2.11>

You might want to try sysutils/pkg_install, they could be able to add 
the packages. You should import pkg_install from 5.x anyway, since a) 
I'll MFC them soon, b) they are supposed to compile with GCC 3.4 and c) 
pkg_version is much faster than the perl equivalent.
