I simply created a dataset on another pool and set its mountpoint to
/var/pkg.

I can't speak to that thread, but it mostly works.  It's had some problems
recently, particularly with the EXDEV tracebacks, but that's been fixed.
There may be other problems lurking, but I know I'll run into 'em as soon
as they occur.  So while you may have to occasionally do a dance to make
pkg(5) work until such a config is officially supported, it a) hasn't been
very often and b) hasn't been very hard.
