Has Emacs gotten bigger than > that? (I would be believe you if you said "yes"). This is true for new installations but not for upgrades. Anyway, there's still the fallback login in pkg_add which creates and uses /usr/tmp if there's insufficient space in /var/tmp to actually extract the package. I think this is slightly evil, but I think the alternative (not being able to install large packages at all) is worse.
