Is there any way to control the size of the cache used by pkgrecv on

No.
However, it will clear the cache after each package is copied to the
destination repository though. So the maximum size of the repository
should be a few hundred megabytes at the most during operations.
I'm seeing my cache at 6GB and growing, effectively doubling my space
requirements,
so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong here:
pkgrecv --key key --cert cert -c /var/tmp/cache/mycache -s
https://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/support -d /var/tmp/testrepo -m
all-versions '*'

Sorry, I missed that you were specifying your own cache directory.
If you specify your own cache directory, pkgrecv will assume that it
cannot remove any files from the cache specified.
The -c option is not to specify a custom cache directory, it is really
only to resume a large, interrupted transfer operation. pkgrecv(1)
tries to explain this.
As mentioned in pkgrecv(1), if you want to control the default location
of cached data during operations, set TMPDIR in your environment
instead. See pkgrecv(1) ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES for more information.
