Hi all,
I use the pkg_add tool as documentatios says:
export
PKG_PATH=ftp://your.ftp.mirror/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/`machine -a`/
pkg_add -v <pkg>
but with some packages (as bash, nmap or pfstat) I get an error
dependencies. It seems like the pkg_add doesn't resolve with success
the dependiencies or not find the needed related packages. According
man pkg_add(1):
"Some packages may depend on other packages. When resolving
dependencies pkg_add will first look at already installed packages,
then match dependencies with the list of packages left to install,
then ask the user's opinion in interactive mode, then install default
packages that satisfy the dependencies."
I've tried with primary OpenBSD site and with a close mirrors.

Are you tried to use pkg_add -iv package_name ?!
From manual:
-i Switch on interactive mode. pkg_add may ask questions to the
user if faced with difficult decisions.
