Somewhat more easily, look in the port/solaris/Makefile.set file, and
find the SBIN directory specified there.  That way you won't have to
exercise the entire used portion of your disk, plus any NFS links.

Not always.  Most of mine aren't.  "Out of space" is one possibility.
Have you looked at the permissions in /tmp (ls -ld /tmp)?  They should
be 1777 (shows as "drwxrwxrwxt").  Have you looked at how much disk
space is available (df -k /tmp)?
