I know it doesn't address the problem directly, but have you tried using other methods of installing software on PC-BSD, which are: 1. download a PBI and execute it 2. use pkg_add -r 3. use ports collection I'm aware of the fact that this doesn't conform to PC-BSD's software maintenance paradigm, but it should work.
