Hello Martina,
please run make(1) with the PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 argument, which makes all
the shell commands visible when they are executed. Then it is easier to
see where pkg_admin fails and why.
As the output will get quite large then, you should redirect it into a
file and post only the part between the "Becoming root" and the error
message.
