Ok, but you certainly can do

$ pkg_add /path/to/your/package/packagename.tgz

as root and that should work.  However, there is no package with the
.gz suffix.  Packages will have a .tgz suffix.  Did the original
poster copy this package from Damien's site?

http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-openbsd.html

On that site, the package is clearly named "iwi-firmware-2.3.tgz".
Where did you obtain that package originally, and how did it become
named iwi-firmware-2.3.gz?
