I'm running 5.4 RELEASE. I have two identical hard drives. I installed FreeBSD on the first drive and then turned on gmirror. The 2nd drive sync'd in about 3 hours. I did create a swap partition, but part of the
procedure that I found to start gmirror adds

swapoff="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf

Is that the right thing to do? Should gmirror run without swap?

You are interpreting it incorrectly.
If you put your swap partition on a gmirror drive, your swap partition will benefit from RAID 1. swapoff="YES" only allows for a clean shutdown, so that gmirror won't rebuild everything on next boot.
