I'll bet you find out the hard way that such is not the case.  More
specifically, you'll find that /var/tmp exists but is chosen at too
small a size to make all the packages extract properly.  Try your
fix with some really large packages and you'll find this out.  /usr/tmp
was chosen specifically as a temporary storage location that's far
more likely to have enough free space to do what we need to do for
packages even as large as xemacs or XFree86.
