=> Trying to download the standard and full FreeBSD package database needs
more than 50MB of free space on /var/db/pkg.
and the /var directory on BSDRP is a 16MB ramdisk.

Because your /data partition is a lot's bigger, you should try to do this
(untested):
mount -uw /
mkdir /data/pkg
cp /var/db/pkg/* /data/pkg
ln -s /data/pkg /var/db/pkg
pkg update

If "pkg update" didn't fill up the /tmp directory during
downloading/extracting its sqlite database it should works.

But all your changes will be lost after an upgrade.
