df doesn't show swap space, it only shows information for filesystems. 
FreeBSD does not use (by default) an on-filesystem swap file such as MS 
family systems do, it uses a seperate partition as swap space.

To check how your swap space is being used, you may view the output from 
pstat -T

Be advised the to do a make world reliably, you will almost always need 
atleast 128MB of swap on systems with average physical memory, and atleast 
256MB if your system has low physical memory.

Other workarounds could be to perform the build process in single user mode, 
sothat no other applications are using memory, but look at swap space 
first.

Martin, there's an extended tutorial on adding and managing swap space in 
the FreeBSD Handbook. If you have installed the doc distribution (standard 
with most install options), you can read this in HTML form at:

/usr/share/doc/handbook/adding-swap-space.html

If you did not install doc, you can either get it quickly with 
/stand/sysinstall, or you can read the chapter in the online version of the 
Handbook at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html

If you prefer, the Handbook is also available from your local system in 
German (if you have installed doc) and you can read this chapter in German 
from:

/usr/share/doc/de_DE.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html

Or, if you like to use the on-line version, the German translation is at:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/de_DE.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html
