: this is with softupdates, which could be a clue

Turn softupdates off.  Softupdates doesn't have the smarts to stall a
request for space that could be fulfilled with a pending delete.

Alternatively, get a bigger slash (big pita, I know).  Might want to
expand /usr while you are at it, since the PITA to expand both is the
same as the pita to expand one.

Alternatively, I think I've had success with
	make installworld INSTALL="sync && install"
which causes a lot of syncs to happen, which causes softupdates to
effectively be disabled.  And slows things WAY down.
