Guys, thanks for your help. I've managed to adjust user's homedir
using pkg-install script. Now I'll try to move everything writable
from /usr/local to /var (as Miroslav suggested), test and submit the new
port version.
I think you should do what makes sense for your application. The /var/db
stuff is not a hard fast rule and it doesn't work well for many
situations. Also it's mostly system related DB's that live there. It's
not only some java related ports that live mostly under /usr but also
things like postgres(at least used to).
IMO, as long as you're not flagrantly violating hier(7), do what is best
for your port.
For a port that needs quite a large database (password hashes from accounts
that have been leaked), I implemented an option to initialize the application
by downloading the data files after the user had a chance to select a place
for the data (by editing the config file). The default is in /var/db, but the
user may prefer a home directory or some sub-directory of /usr/local/ ...

Thanks, Stefan, it is also a nice approach.
