quoting from /usr/pkgsrc/mk/mk.conf.example:


#DISTDIR=       ${PKGSRCDIR}/distfiles
# Directory where original distribution
# files are stored.
# Possible: any path you like
# Default: /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles

#DIST_PATH=     /cdrom/0/distfiles:${HOME}/distfiles
# colon-delimited list of directories in which to search for
# ${DISTFILES} and ${PATCHFILES}.  If the requested file is not in any
# of the directories in ${DIST_PATH}, it will be downloaded into
# ${DISTDIR}.  If the requested file is in one of the directories in
# ${DIST_PATH}, a symbolic link will be made to it from ${DISTDIR}. 
# ${DIST_PATH} directories will will be searched before ${DISTDIR},
# letting a CD hold the main distfiles archive, and local ${DISTDIR}
# hold any updated distfiles, for example.
# Possible:  any directories
# Default: none


so it looks like the right thing to do is in /etc/mk.conf:

DIST_PATH=	/opt/ftp/pub/NetBSD/packages/distfiles
