Because (1) the current practice is to build above /usr/ports and
changing that breaks POLA, (2) ports builds are not necessarily
"temporary data," if you have several near identical system and a NFS
exported /usr/ports, you can build once and install many, and (3) some
ports require BIG workspace and TMPDIR may not be large enough.

We're not, that's where ports build already.
