For /tmp, what exactly do you mean?

If you want to use tmpfs instead of md/mdmfs when tmpmfs="YES" in 
rc.conf, I have no opinion.

However, if you always want to use tmpfs instead of stable storage, 
please do not.  Some people expect /tmp to be persistent.  This is why 
/etc/defaults/rc.conf has clear_tmp_enable="NO".  Changing this would 
break the POLA.
