Does pkg_add command use /usr/ports directory?

pkg_add does not install into /usr/ports directory.

pkg_add command downloads a pre-compiled binary package of the software and installs into /usr/local/*. After that the software is installed and ready to run. There’s no need to compile anything via /usr/ports.
