This depends on your file system layout, Glen. If you put
everything into one partition, i. e. /, then everything is
going into /.
like in my case. with one exception - now i usually have /tmp separate but
it's tmpfs :)

No, just tradition or convention. In most cases,
all your examples are sounds just like kind of tradition.
Just like for eg. creating lots of partitions no matter if it's needed or
not

One exception: The creation of different partitions
In fact, given that FreeBSD doesn't seem to have a native convention on
how exported filesystems are laid out (no mention in hier(7), no default
/etc/exports file), it would make sense to adopt the Solaris/Linux style

it's best not to adopt any style, but do whatever is
One exception: The creation of different partitions according
to different uses can (but doesn't neccessarily have to) be
useful if partition-wise dumps are required or intended. As
you know, there are advantages and disadvantages. There can
This is only adventage - to use dump.

as assume latter. you should use ports for installing software.
if there are no port for it, you should write it and contribute ;)

You can even keep it out of /usr employing the /opt Linuxism. :-)
no matter what's the name, but it's good to have
/usr/local for ports-based installed things

so both base system and ports are clearly
