it depends on what you want to do with the system.  /var stores by
default the mail spool, system logs, package database, /var/tmp writable
by anyone and other temporary/db data.  it's also a place where savecore
would write a crash dump of your kernel (whole memory).

safe value would be around twice the amount of your ram, more if you
expect to store big mail spool.  64mb is insufficient for almost any
use (sans embedded systems).
