Looks like /usr/pkg/tnt is indeed the best solution then. 
It would be nice to place it somewhere else, though, by setting some
compile-time variable (I think the glunix package can serve as an example
here).

Um, last time we went through this, i think we decided on /var/run.

/var/spool/tnt looks ok (not knowing what will go in exactly, but assuming
it's data files). Again redirecting via some variable wouldn't hurt.

Heh, so you'ce chosen to start with the most difficult one? ;-)
