Not just at install time. If you decide to install applications using the ports system, some of them use /var for the build process. I've had builds die because there was insufficient free space on /var. (Mind you, I remember these being large/complex applications - OpenOffice, Mozilla, Java - but even so.) In my opinion, given modern disk capacities 50mb is way too small.
