Are you sure that's the reason it bombs ? Usually you can't install every package in a directory because there are conflicts between packages that you can't install at the same time on the same machine. Inter-dependencies work just fine however... pkg_add correctly sorts packages so that you are describing does NOT happen. Look again.
