how does one use that DVD iso to install the software?

as the question states, after install how does one get the desktop and apps off the usb stick and installed on the system?
( using the dvd disk iso )
 
This is a great question. Does the DVD contain software that can be installed? I would like to know this too. Not having to connect some systems to a network would be very useful.

There’s no further bsddialog(1)-driven process in bsdinstall(8) allowing you to do that.​

Yes, in /packages/*/*/*.pkg. I haven’t attempted that, but I guess you should boot the freshly installed system, mount your USB stick, configure pkg(8) (copy /packages/repos/FreeBSD_install_cdrom.conf to /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/, create a symbolic link /dist), and then use pkg-install(8) as usual.​
