The IPS package system does not provide one file per package, instead
each individual file which makes up a package are downloaded
individually, this means that you can't just download what would
resemble a .rpm or .deb file.

You can instead use the "pkgrecv" command to download the files which
makes up a package, and then install the package on your
non-internet-connect server, using the "pkg" command.

Alternatively you can set up your own local mirror of pkg.oi.o/dev, by
using rsync to get all the files needed: rsync
pkg-origin.openindiana.org::pkgdepot-dev
