You could grep for /opt/csw/var instances in all the build files and
replace them accordingly. I see two main issues:

- potential problems will be seen at runtime, not at the time of packaging
- already installed programs will have their data in /opt/csw/var,
some form of data migration might be necessary

Perhaps focus on just few important packages would be enough. Postfix
and cups come to mind.
