Um, I haven't tried recently?

Let's see... I have a pcbsd9 image installed under qemu, and... Googling 
for pcbsd install package either gives me a giant text file that's not 
particularly searchable:

ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/handbook/9.1/handbook_en_ver9.1.html

Or an add for the gui stuff that doesn't actually say how to use it:

http://www.pcbsd.org/en/package-management/

Or it gives me pages that don't have an obvious one big version but make 
me click through a gallery of tiny little pages like a site trying to 
maximize ad views:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports-overview.html

Eventually I figured out to add "command line" to my search, and since 
add_pkg wants a file, I think I want the "pkg" command? So... "pkg 
install mercurial" refuses to work because it's falling back to a legacy 
database and trying to download a file from a location it doesn't exist 
at. Try... pkg update? No signature found in the repository, cannot 
vallidate against key, no digest falling back on legacy catalog format...

And attempting to go "sudo pkg update 2>&1 | tee update.txt" to show it 
to anybody says "Ambiguous output redirect."

I remember why I stopped trying to fiddle with it. 20 years of Linux, 
DOS, OS/2, and the Amiga is not enough for me to have any clue how to 
make BSD do anything as complicated as install a package.

Happy to help somebody else debug this, but unlikely to do so on my own.
