Set WRKOBJDIR to the directory you want to the builds on.

For example, my /etc/mk.conf on one box has:

WRKOBJDIR=             /scratch/pkgsrc   # build here instead of in pkgsrc
OBJHOSTNAME=           yes               # use work.`hostname`

I use OBJHOSTNAME because I share the pkgsrc tree and I need to have
separate work directories for each build system.
