I would suggest:
# global font cache
#: ${MT_FEATURES=appendonlydir:varfonts}
# per user font cache
: ${MT_FEATURES=texmfvar}
#: ${MODE=ljfour}
#: ${BDPI=600}
# uncomment the following line to use ps2pk instead of gsftopk:

I have made some tests here. If VARTEXFONTS is set to /tmp/texfonts but
does not exist yet, it is created by mktextfm et al. So there are no
problems as with a nonexistend TEXMFVAR. In addition, even though this
would create files in /tmp, there seem to be no problems with 'unsafe
file' creation. The mktex* utilities create only files that don't yet
exist. Now I only hope that /tmp exists even on buildds.
