Don't set up /var on MFS, it holds stuff that has to be preserved across reboots.
To set up /tmp on a MFS (for this one boot), do like so:
# mv /tmp /tmp.old
# mkdir /tmp
# MD=`mdconfig -a -t swap -s XXXm`    # replace XXXm with size
# newfs /dev/$MD
# mount /dev/$MD /tmp
# unset MD

It will disappear when the system goes down.
