I think pkg might need temporary space either in /tmp or in /var somewhere. Perhaps the problem is that /tmp is only 228M. Normally we make /tmp a tmpfs filesystem (that is, swap-backed and doesn't survive a reboot). It's also possible that the root filesystem is too small. I'm just not sure where pkg wants to put its temporary files.
