As a general rule I move all fs/dirs where there's expected to be lots
of read/write activity to either a usb3 stick, or one of those
usb-powered spinning rust disks. Even though on the Pi, the interface is
only usb2, for some reason using usb3-capable storage is more pain-free
than something strictly usb2. I don't know why. I only get the problem
you're describing with usb2 disks.

So, on the usb3 key or disk I mount the following, before updating
kernel world or building anything from ports:
/ccache
/var/log
/usr/ports
/usr/src
/usr/obj
/tmp
/usr/home
swap partition

/var/tmp is a small mfs.
