Cannot install xorg on dfly-x86_64-4.0.1_REL

[Matthew Dillon]

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.
