This is actually a side effect of the STAGING implementation.  The 
package file is put into the
port (created) work sub directory.   Now if I could only find the 
documentation that tells me how to put, say,
WORK_DIRECTORY=/var/tmp/work  into the /etc/make.conf file or something 
similar I would be
a very (well, not so grumpy) happy camper.  I read this somewhere once 
but I cannot find
it again.  WRKDIRPREFIX?  WORKDIRPREFIX?
