Documentation is 'man pkg_add' to add programs without sysinstall. You can
run sysinstall to add packages too. Use the sysinstall menu for post
install configuration.

The files are extracted into the system in there proper places. Don't
worry though. FreeBSD keeps track of where every thing goes so you can
easily remove a packge later using 'pkg_delete'.
