So I bit the bullet, set ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM=3D1, NFS-mounted a
/usr/ports tree, set up swap on a local USB disk (which ironically
was not used), and compiled ghostscript without CUPS.  Much to my
surprise, it took only six hours, and my problem is now solved.

So to update to 11.3-RELEASE, do I have to do a source upgrade?
freebsd-update appears not to work (3 mirrors found, fetching public
key failed three times).                                  -- George
