[yocto] Question about temporary directories

[A]

In the absence of any wise counsel, I am currently having all of my recipes
install into a temporary directory I created on the build host's
filesystem.  Then, I have one of my recipes create the filesystem image
with the contents of that location.

I'm not sure how portable this is going to be.  It would be less annoying
if I knew of a predefined variable I could use in the recipe (so I don't
have to go outside the workspace), but they all seem to be recipe-specific
or target-specific.
