Nope, this functionality doesn't exist yet. Basically, I would need to take apart the pkgname parser again. What you want is to be able to specify a pkgpath, actually, e.g., editors/vim,no_x11 and let the package system cope. Areas such as snapshots vs. stable means this is what's needed. In the case of stuff like vim-no_x11, it would have to be at least vim-*-no_x11 for pkg_add to make sense of it. It's doable, but not my priority at the moment... I'm trying to refactor some code to make it simpler, not the right time to add more things.
