There is no performance advantage in doing that.  I can only see two
possible reasons for pointing WRKDIRPREFIX to another disk:

 - insufficient space on /usr (but then again, you could just move the
   ports tree to that other disk and mount it on /usr/ports)

 - /usr/ports on NFS (I do that myself to facilitate testing changes
   on different platforms)
