Mark,
YES, but it's not a "now" thing.  There are elements that store "persistent"
data in /var, and it is expected that this data is there between IPLs.
Here's the list of z/OS elements that use /var in this manner.  (I'm
guessing that you don't use these elements, as you haven't encountered
problems using /var as a TFS to date).

- CIM (uses /var/wbem, which we recommend to be its own separate file system)
- Cryptographic Services OCSF (uses /var/ocsf)
- Infoprint Server (uses /var/Printsrv)
- Integrated Security Services Network Authentication Service (uses /var/skrb).

btw - I pulled this list from the z/OS Migration book.
