You're likely to need this much space in /tmp semi-regularly if you
will be using large graphical applications, so you might want to
consider ensuring that there is enough space.  If you have /tmp on
an MFS, you can either make the MFS larger, or not mount it and just
let /tmp sit on the / filesystem.

One possible alternate value for PKG_TMPDIR would be /var/tmp, but
if that's not on the same filesystem as /, you probably don't want
to symlink /tmp to /var/tmp as the result would be no temporary
space available until comparatively late in the boot process.
