pkg_add problems

I am having trouble using pkg_add -r <some package>. I keep getting
the following error.
---------------------------------------
p0069# pkg_add -r bash
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/bash.tbz:
Network is unreachable
pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/bash.tbz'
by URL
p0069#
---------------------

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but
- I have rebuilt the kernel successfully
---------------------
p0069# uname -a
FreeBSD p0069.bm.local 6.1-RELEASE-p12 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p12 #0: Thu
Feb 8 13:55:26 EST 2007
xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WEBSERVER i386
--------------------
- And there is no ports tree installed.. ie /usr/ports does not exist.
- I can ping ftp.freebsd.org
- I can also ftp>open ftp.freebsd.org

Any thoughts on trouble shooting this would be appreciated.

Thanks
