You were close. The syntax is:
/map file

not
/map file.pk3

Of course, the standard is to name the .bsp inside the pk3 the same as
the pk3 so if that does not work you actually need to open the pk3
files and look in the \maps folder to see the actual name of the file.
If the file is called mymap.bsp type:
/map mymap
or
/devmap mymap

Pk3 files are zips. Should be able to open with any unzipper.
