Much the same except the pkgng command line is:

   pkg create -a

There are fancier approaches to doing this sort of thing involving
creating your own package repository (which is a lot easier than it
sounds -- basically 'pkg repo /directory/where/your/pkgs/are'
and then you can tell pkg to install from there by using a file:// URL
for the packagesite.  However, this is all optional and you can simply
install what you want using 'pkg add'.

	Cheers,
