I've pretty well always used a separate /tmp partition. I've always
used MFS with FreeBSD. This makes the root partition virtually
read-only (which has robustness and security advantages).

Solutions:
1) Use -pipe
2) Don't use softupdates
3) Use a RAMdisk (eg MFS) instead of a physical disk (which makes the
previous point irrelevant).
I don't recall seeing anyone mention problems like this (though they
might be on lists I don't read).
