When something is surprisingly hard, you should stop and think if you're
holding it wrong. So, why /var? Could it make sense to use
/usr/local/var/ (${PREFIX}/var to be precise)? Or maybe /var/db for
local state, as it some ports use? Once you've answered that question,
have a look at security/krb5-120 for how to handle ${PREFIX}/var and/or
security/sudo for anything in /var/db (these are the first examples which
crossed my mind, there are more).
