Hi Markus.

If you DON'T want to use sysinstall... (Doing things the hard way :) 
Just
execute pkg_add from your shell, something like the following:

# pkg_add your-package-1.1.0.tgz

Specify the fully qualified path and extension to the .tgz
If you want to know what's REALLY going on... try the -v parameter :)

pkg_add will also accept ftp URLs.

Check out the man page for pkg_add.
