You should be able to change those paths pretty easily.  In files
src/{tdpro.h,pvmlog.c} macros TDSOCKNAME and PVMDLOGFILE are defined.
Take out the "/tmp/" prefix on these and they will be relative to
your homedir (assuming you don't change the PVM working dir with wd=
in the host file).  If you're sharing a homedir between hosts, you will
also have to add "-DSHAREDTMP" to the OPTIONS line in src/Makefile.aimk
(or ARCHCFLAGS in conf/ARCH.def).  That will cause the hostname to be
included in the file name.
