I'm against that. what's happen if /usr/local is nfs mounted. hugh!
"local" temp files may clash w/ "local" files from other machines.
IMHO, /var/tmp is the best place for temp files, even for ports.
not all ports respect that. I'm thinking to cups in particulary.
@dirrm var/log/cups
@dirrm var/spool/cups/tmp
@dirrm var/spool/cups
should be /var/...
