/tmp is gone, now.
It turns out that a bit of patching was needed for recent HEAD, since the
afs3_syscall is now declared in the base system's sys/sysproto.h;
additionally declaring it in an AFS header caused build failures.
Anyway, I have done some light testing of the port at
http://web.mit.edu/freebsd/openafs/openafs.shar , which is basically the
version you started off this thread with plus a couple minor changes.
It's not quite ready for the ports collection, as the handling around some
of the foo.sample files should probably be reworked [1], I would like to
have an actual rc script to make things easier out-of-the-box, and I
expect it fails portlint.
Thanks again for pulling this up.

[1] I believe that the general practice for foo.sample files in the ports
collection is to install the .sample file and also install a copy of it
without the suffix. At deinstall time, if the unsuffixed version remains
identical to the .sample file, both are removed; otherwise, only the
.sample version is removed.
