The base system has added some "/tmp"-cleaning at boot time,
specifically to clear out X-related directories.  Updating your system
to (for example) 6-STABLE may make things work automatically.
Alternatively, you could turn on the old /tmp cleaning, which will
just wipe the whole directory.  If you have a single-user system, the
security risks aren't really an issue.  

Or you could use a memory disk for /tmp.  That will (obviously) clear
your whole /tmp automatically on a reboot.  I do that on my desktops,
by setting the tmpmfs and tmpsize variables in rc.conf(5).
