You can certainly change the options in sysinstall to force Softupdates
on /

In general, there's little to be gained from it -- on most systems, / is
essentially a read-only filesystem, with very little metadata changed except
for atime.

BTW, IIRC you can certainly 'tunefs -n enable /' while in single-user mode.
