AFAIK there is no way to get around this. You can set a flag so that pkg
tries to empty /var/pkg/downloads, but even though it looks empty, it
won't actually become empty until you delete the snapshots, and IIRC
you still have to manually delete the contents. I understand that you
can try creating a separate dataset and mounting it on /var/pkg, but I
haven't tried it yet, and I have no idea if doing so gets around the
BE snapshot problem.

You can set the environment variable PKG_CACHEDIR to place the cache in an alternate filesystem.
