I'm just a longtime LInux guy, not a formal sysadmin, though. Further, bitcoin doesn't allow easy separation of the files without detachdb (off by default), nor does it supply a user agnostic system daemon to do the block processing separately from user wallet ops. So I would suggest until then it remain split up somewhere under .bitcoin rather than in /var or anywhere else.
