I'm trying to scavange as much room as I can in /usr and I was wondering if it would be ok to move the /usr/ports director into /var? I know I don't want to move it into /tmp because it would get nuked by the system. I have tons of spare room in /var so that would be the logical place to move it to. Can I get away with this?
