Subject:   /var short of disk space because of /var/pkg/db

My /var partition got full.

I had the FreeBSD installer automatically allocate partitions, and
as a result, my /var partition is less than 20MB in size.

Recently I started using portupgrade, and the program fattened
the files under /var/pkg/db.

Question:

1) Can I temporarily delete /var/pkg/db/*? Can I then safely 
remake the content of this directory using portsdb?

2) Can I make the system use space under /usr instead of 
/var/pkg/db?
