If you have free space in another file system than /usr/ports, you can
always define WRKDIRPREFIX=/free/space/path either in /etc/make.conf or
directly from the command line.
eg:
cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-2.0
make WRKDIRPREFIX=/free/space/path package clean
or, if you use portupgrade,
portupgrade -p -m WRKDIRPREFIX=/free/space/path \
-N editors/openoffice.org-2.0
This workaround can (and should) also be used whenever your /usr/port
directory is either read-only, or nfs-mounted
Hope this helps.
