Why not add a selection to the installer, something like
this:

        Partition scheme
        ----------------

        [ ] all in one + swap
            Create one partition containing all subtrees
            plus one swap partition.

        [ ] separate partitioning + swap
            Create /, /var, /tmp and /usr (including home)
            partitions plus one swap partition.

        [ ] user-defined
            Make your own partitioning selection manually.

Of course, the default SIZES for second choice should be
reasonable.

I like it. This, or something very similar, seems to me like the best way to go.

I am not a professional sysadmin, but have been using FreeBSD since 2.2.6. FWIW, I prefer the multi-partition approach for all the reasons already mentioned.
