So is it safe to do "rm -rf /tmp/*"?

Not if running an X desktop, as all sorts of things get stuck in /tmp that are needed. In single user mode it should be safe, and it probably is when simply running on the console.

As a long term solution, if you wish to clear /tmp every reboot add

clear_tmp_enable="YES"        # Clear /tmp at startup.

to your /etc/rc.conf
