fresh install of OpenBSD 5.4 on an old Sparc server fails to install wget

Hello all.

I had an old Sun sparc server and really wanted to install something
current and interesting on it.  Something not Solaris/Oracle and
definately open source and not linux. Therefore I arrived at OpenBSD
and the install was trivial. Easy. I was very pleasantly surprised
by that.

After install and first boot I was able to login via the console and
create my user account with the usual .ssh directory contents and then
ssh in no problem.  Great stuff.  Then I wanted to use wget to fetch
the sources to GNU make. I saw that I had no "wget" in my path or
anywhere that I could see.  So I did some hunting about and landed on
pages that talked about pkg_add and the PKG_PATH environment variable.
Therefore I tried this :

#
PKG_PATH=http://athena.caslab.queensu.ca/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/sparc64/
# export PKG_PATH
# pkg_add wget

/usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackingList.pm line 306, <$fh> line 3.

Am I doing the correct things here or am I way way off base?  I am very
familiar with Solaris and how to install packages there as well as the
Debian linux way of things. So just looking for pointers in case I am
just lost.
