Just use
pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release//java/openjdk-7.9.05_1.tbz


But you should install all packages from the same "URL".


I assume you have 9.0?


What does 
pkg_info

say?


I really, really hope the FreeBSD team can get a pkgng-repo up soon.

I don't need it myself, I have my own repo - but helping people who have no idea of how all this fits together is a bit of a nightmare…
