That is not the way pkg_add and LATEST_LINK works. If you want to install
a package that has no LATEST_LINK set you have to specify the full URL,
including your OS version.
LATEST_LINK actually does some useful magic, and it's basically free, since
you it will only add the overhead of one inode. So NO_LATEST_LINK should
only be set by ports that are not expected to be installed by package users,
for example because they are of highly experimental nature.
