You can use FSFindFolder() to get the temp directory for the user's specific domain.

Note the folder returned by this has changed drastically between Mac OS X releases, so never, ever store paths.

However, there is a security issue, in the eyes of some, that writing to /tmp is bad. So, they have it cordoned off on their systems. Another issue would be if a user was rendering content that they didn't want other users (such as those logged via SSH) to see.
