You could use:

  WRKOBJDIR?=/var/temp/${MACHINE_ARCH}

in /etc/mk.conf.  This will allow it to be overidden on the command line
(the ?=) and allow all machines of the same architecture to share builds.

You might also find that a periodic:

  rm -rf /var/tmp/<TARGET_ARCH>/*

on the NFS server is faster than running:

  make clean

on the slower machines.
