This is a new error type to me, packages install is usually pretty foolproof.

rm -rf /usr/local/lib/snort*
rm -rf /usr/local/etc/snort
rm -rf /usr/local/include/snort
rm -rf /var/log/snort

That is an error from within the Package Manager itself and not directly related to Snort.  The pkg installation process will copy down the single package file and then start unzipping and copying the contents of the gzip archive to their final destination.  Something blew up or failed in that process.  Try the install again.
