Looking at the latest patch
http://people.freebsd.org/~jasone/patches/jemalloc_20120405a.patch

I cannot tell for sure if you did an 'svn move' of the files from
lib/libc/stdlib/ to contrib/jemalloc/.  It looks to me like they have
not.  If not, can you regen the diff after using 'svn move' so we
maintain log history?

I do not think it is acceptable.  Our workflow is to do vendor imports.
They are invaluable in tracking down history and changes years after the
fact.  They are also very valuable to commercial third-parties that
consume FreeBSD into their products (I speak for Juniper Networks in
this).

Why do you feel they are [measurably] extra work with no benefit?
