Using pkg_add on alternative host

I am using pkg_add to add packages to a FreeBSD 7.1 install. This command is fetching from ftp.freebsd.org, which is known to be slow from my geographical location. Can I set a variable so that the package is fetched from a host closer to the machine (ftp.xx.freebsd.org)?
