Similar enough to what I use for general systems that I vote YES.

Depending on the size of installed RAM, /tmp could also
be a memory disk by default. I do that on all of my
machines. I never have /tmp physically on disk anywhere.

Q1: Is 26M free space on / after installing FreeBSD normal?
It depends on the FreeBSD version, and whether you installed
the kernel with debug symbols. 430 MB space used in the

normal that / is using 430M?. It depemds what you have in / file
