Hi everybody:
I have no good internet connection at home, so, I wonder if there is a
way to carry full NetBSD packages in my pen drive or a CD to install
them offline there.
I want to install KDevelop and KOffice at home, those packages are not
available in the distribution CDs and I cannot get them from internet
in my home box.

Possibly pkgtools/pkg_tarup will do what you need.

Or just download the .tgz files at another location to a cdrom or
something, and use pkg_add on the local files at home.
