Installing a base package post install

When I setup OpenBSD a couple of days ago, I didn't think I would need
(or want) comp37.tgz so I didn't install it. Now (of course) I need
it. When I run "pkg_add -n comp37.tgz", it says "Fatal error". I'm
guessing the base install packages aren't the same as other packages.

What is the right way to install this package? Untar it into the root
directory? If so - are there any special switches I need?

Would this work? "cd / ; sudo tar zxpf comp37.tgz"
