I think you want to set one of the following in make.conf
# WRKDIRPREFIX - The place to root the temporary working directory
# hierarchy.
# Default: none
# WRKDIR - A temporary working directory that gets
*clobbered* on clean
# Default: ${WRKDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/work
not the most intuitive place to look but I guess thats why the BUGS
section of PORTS(7) says
BUGS
Ports documentation is split over four places --
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, The Porter's Handbook, the ``Packages and
Ports'' chapter of The FreeBSD Handbook, and this manual page.
