 I don't think this should be solved at the sysinst level - if you manually
 create a 1 GB FS (w/o any special newfs options), can you extract pkgsrc
 on that fs?
 
 Note that you can deal with more inode in the partiton options menu by
 selecting a different "avg file size" which translates to the -i option
 of newfs:
 
      -i bytes-per-inode
                  This specifies the density of inodes in the file system.  If
                  fewer inodes are desired, a larger number should be used; to
                  create more inodes a smaller number should be given.  The
                  default is to create an inode for every (4 * frag-size) bytes
                  of data space:
 
                        file system size  bytes-per-inode
                        < 20 MB           2 KB
                        < 1000 MB         4 KB
                        < 128 GB          8 KB
                        >= 128 GB         16 KB
