I wouldn't. When you patch, the patch information is updated under there. And when you delete it, then the next set of patch sets won't install properly. I learned that the hard way. If you are using solstice, I would recommend just adding some space to /var if you have any to add. Otherwise, do a du -ks /var/* and sort it by size and see if you can find any excessively large logs that aren't rotating. Getting users to clean up mail, if you have a lot, might also help.
