Hi,

pkg_add uses the $PKG_PATH environment variable to determine which source to 
use for packages, eg:

wolf:fred ~: env |grep -i pkg
PKG_PATH=https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/

The interface used will be determined by the boxes routing table, so to specify 
an interface you would need to create a route that used the specified interface.
