Hi,
I dont think this is an adequate solution.
/tmp is filling up during the portmanager run. in other words - while I
am running /tmp fills up. so it needs to be erased periodically while
portmanager is running or else no other packages can be downloaded
are there other solutions?
what about a sym link to /var/tmp - will that break anything?
Are you sure that "clear_tmp_enabled" doesnt just force clearing tmp
upon reboot?
Cheers,
Noah

Erase them. Besides how much trouble can they be causing?
Honestly, portmanager only uses those files when it runs. Each time it
is restarted, except with the '--resume' flag, it erases them and
creates new one.
By the way, do you have:
clear_tmp_enabled="YES"
in your /etc/rc.conf file? If not, you might want to add it if you feel
that you /tmp directory is getting clogged with garbage. I believe there
is a setting in periodic daily to clean out tmp files only.
From rc.conf(5):
clear_tmp_enable
(bool) Set to ``YES'' to have /tmp cleaned at startup.
Why not setup a parallel (background) task with a wrapper script to
delete some files when upgrading ports? Either that or find a (more)
free partition and symlink /var/tmp to it.
