You'll want to put /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin in your path; that'll 
get them found.  Add it to all your existing users and /usr/share/skel, 
I think it is, so that new users on the system get it too.  There's 
probably other places I'm not thinking of - /etc/login.conf, .profile, etc.

I thought the $PATH was changed by default; maybe I'm wrong.
