Was running tex with the example file part of the build, or something you ran afterwards? Is the file part of the distribution, and thus accessible to others? Something as simple as "with no tex packages, and pkgsrc-2016Q1, do make package-install in print/foo. Then, run 'tex /usr/pkg/share/examples/tex/.../hebrew.tex'. " would help a lot for others to reproduce. If there is a memory configured limit in kpathsea, then there are at least two approaches. One is for you to increase the value in the installed file. A second is to patch the kpathsea config to increase it. A third is to file a bug report upstream. While pkgsrc often patches bugs, the basic notion is that if the upstream code has issues when one follows the upstream build/install instructions, it's an upstream bug not a pkgsrc bug.
