Nope. You'll have to pkg_delete it first.

You need to pkg_delete:

Code:
 $pkg_delete -rf packagename

 $pkg_add packagename

The -rf tag forceably and recurseivly removes any dependencys.

Adding packages:

For FreeBSD, you might be better off using the sysinstall command.

For openBSD you would be better off using

Code:
 $pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/pacakge locaton


This will effectively install all the dependencys that your package will need.
