Yes, I mean "from the host".

This was my first approach; however, you need to bootstrap pkg and
AFAIK this is not possible without networking. BTW, I think pkg should
be installed by default now.

No. It's very useful to me, indeed. If you can't see a case of use it
doesn't mean it's useless. If you need more details for providing more
ideas just let me know.
