At install time, some of the largest packages may overflow a /var
partition that is so small.
Not just at install time. If you decide to install
applications using the ports system, some of them use /var for the
build process. I've had builds die because there was insufficient
free space on /var. (Mind you, I remember these being large/complex
applications - OpenOffice, Mozilla, Java - but even so.) In my
opinion, given modern disk capacities 50mb is way too small.
To register a data point:

/dev/da0s1d 989M 169M 741M 19% /var

You can also do the same as I did. I have just configured one slice named /
which takes all the space on hdd and now I don't need to worry about space
shortage.
