I don't know what's causing your error, but, FWIW, I successfully built 
pkg-1.3.6 on my BBB and R-PI quite recently:

pmather at beaglebone:~ % pkg info pkg

This is on -CURRENT with clang:

I suspect the "fatal error: error in backend: IO failure on output 
stream." might mean that you ran out of space in /tmp or that your SD 
card is going bad?

That point in the build takes quite a few minutes for me on ARM but 
gets past it.  I just started a make and this is what I got:

=====

The build is still running, but it is past the point it failed for you. 
 If it helps, I have /usr/ports and /tmp on an external USB drive.  By 
default, /tmp is on an md device, so may be consuming resources needed 
to compile this file.

Cheers,

Paul.
