AFAIK the defaults for on-disk /tmp was something like 1G not so long ago.

On the other hand making /tmp small doesn't help anything. On all my 
machines I'm trying to allocate enough swap (at least 4G) and I never 
had nailed /tmp fs size to relatively small values. Moreover, I always 
set WRKDIRPREFIX to /tmp/ports so all port building will go to /tmp 
resulting in faster port builds. I'm using portmaster that has one neat 
feature to build required port one by one clearing build directory after 
each port was built so I had never ran into /tmp fs size issues except 
when building OpenOffice.
