I have "WRKOBJDIR=/usr/obj/pkgsrc" in /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf and these lines in 
/etc/periodic.conf:

daily_clean_tmps_enable="YES"                           # Delete stuff daily
daily_clean_tmps_dirs="/tmp /var/db/pkgin/cache /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles"  # 
Delete under here
daily_clean_tmps_dirs="$daily_clean_tmps_dirs /usr/obj /crypt/tmp 
/usr/pkgsrc/packages"
daily_clean_tmps_days="30"                              # If not accessed for
