I don't have any examples of stuff being *dependent* on /tmp being
persistent. However, given that it has been persistent with all the
FreeBSD installations I have performed since 1995 or so, I would be
*highly* surprised if this suddenly changed. POLA.

(And these haven't been special installations in any way, just your
plain vanilla sysinstall installations with either one / covering the
whole disk, or /, /usr and /var on separate partitions.)
