I have changed /tmp to use tmpfs.

$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/mmcsd0s1   /boot/msdos     msdosfs rw,noatime      0 0
/dev/mmcsd0s2a  /               ufs rw,noatime          1 1
#md             /tmp            mfs rw,noatime,-s50m    0 0
md              /var/log        mfs rw,noatime,-s15m    0 0
md             /var/tmp        mfs rw,noatime,-s10m    0 0
tmpfs           /tmp            tmpfs rw,mode=777 0 0

Mark Millard[1] has identified possible issues with /usr/local/raspbsd 
being present in the error message. As you can see I have no such path.

$ ls /usr/local/raspbsd
ls: /usr/local/raspbsd: No such file or directory
$ ls /usr/local
bin     etc     include lib     libdata man     openssl sbin    share

It looks like you're using vanilla FreeBSD unlike me; I'm using RaspBSD 
install/bootable image. Since we're hitting the same issue I'm guessing 
it might not matter which install image is used.
