If that was the case it would say something like 108%, not -83%.
The other strange value is the used size -2.2G.
I see only 2 options:
 - Buffer overflow of the command (not much likely)
 - Problem with the data on the disk.

Maybe you should run fsck -fFyv /var

FreeBSD keeps a certain percentage (I thin 8%) of your disk
as a reserve, so you can have more disk space occupied than
"full size minus 8%). At the moment, the reserve is utilized
to store some data.

Maybe you find some files to delete in /var, the situation
should normalize.

But still, the values look something strange... too strange...
