If you mean files under /var/db/portsnap/files/ then these are not temporary files, they are the compressed snapshot, and you should not delete them without very good reason. They are supposed to persist and may remain unmodified for many months. Zillion is a bit vague, there should be one file for each port plus one for each file outside a port directory. I have ~27k files. The temporary .gz files are stored in the directory above and may be deleted.
