The authors of bsd.port.mk have. Try this:
$ cd /usr/ports/misc/rtfm
$ WRKDIRPREFIX=/tmp DISTDIR=/tmp make

Simply set WRKDIRPREFIX and DISTDIR and nothing gets written
to the ports directory. Obviously you could put this in
/etc/make.conf and make it much easier on yourself.
Note that you end up in this case with
/tmp/usr/ports/misc/rtfm/work/rtfm-0.2/
that you get to rip out later. Additionally, a
/tmp/rtfm-0.2.tar.gz is left behind.
