converters/mpack doesn't apply the patch properly

[Vahan Yerkanian]

I thought FreeBSD default install doesn't create /usr/tmp directory... 
If you install mpack from the packages it works ok, the problem 
manifests itself when you try to portupgrade or install it via ports.
See below:

# uname -sv

Any clues?
