Do you mean that you have mirrored a complete snapshots/packages/(arch) locally to use as a source for pkg_add? If so, make sure your mirror is all from the same package snapshot. Basically, check that dates on the upstream mirror are consistent and use something like "rsync -yav --delete" to fetch/update the whole directory. I don't do this myself though, I prefer to just update my system if I run into a mismatch. (exception being if I want to save packages that match a snapshot I've installed on a number of systems).
