There's also a 'bootstrap' command for pkg(7) [ie. the stub that comes
with the OS which will download and install the real pkg(8)] which is
designed specifically to avoid this sort of problem.

That is certainly in FreeBSD 10.x and above.  I can't remember off hand
if that functionality was MFC'd to any of the 9.x branches though.
