I have it in my environment. echo $PKG_PATH comes back with the
correct results.
Did it actually get to your environment via 'export'? If you didn't
place it in the environment with export you will still get a value
from the current shell with 'echo $PKG_PATH'. Test with 'env | grep
PKG_PATH'
Your original posting didn't indicate that it was exported.

Here is all of my exported variables from my .profile. env | grep
PKG_PATH comes back with the ftp site I have set
in my .profile.
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.1/packages/i386/
MAIL=/var/mail/$USER
FCEDIT=mg
EDITOR=mg
TERM=vt220
PS1='\D{%d/%m/%y %r} ${PWD}/ --> '
export EDITOR FCEDIT MAIL PATH TERM PKG_PATH
