You can use pkg-fetch(8) to download packages on a machine with internet
access, and then copy /var/cache/pkg onto a USB stick or whatever to
load onto your isolated systems.  You can even take the cntents of
/var/cache/pkg and run pkg-repo(8) to make your own repository that you
can use to install packages from on your isolated machines.
