Yes, short answer is, if you can't trust your filesystem (or more directly the OS with access to it), you've already been owned, and the train has already left the station.
Well, there are a class of vulnerabilities which grant read access to [any] file(s), but in general, the game is over by that time.

Link: http://www.nsa.gov/snac/ Note they only have security guides for commercial OSes. If anyone is inclined, send their PR or public relations office a thank-you note for developing stuff for open-source OSes. They took a toungue-lashing from MS over SELinux, and are careful to state that they aren't endorsing one vendor over another, etc. Let them know that open-source allows the maximum benefit from their research and development because others can study the implementation easily. -- "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."
