Thanks, this problem might be ufs-specific, tmpfs is fine.
Tested tmpfs with:

        kldload tmpfs
        mkdir /tmp/tmpfs
        mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp/tmpfs

(Documenting all this since much of this is new to me)

I noticed FreeBSD now provides ready-to-run VM images along with
normal installation stuff, including qcow2 ones for QEMU users,
so that saves some time.

http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/10.3-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64.qcow2.xz

Notes:

* "-net user" because I'm lazy (ICMP ping won't work out-of-the-box)

* kvm can be substituted for qemu-system-$ARCH for the KVM-less
  or users lacking write access to /dev/kvm

* hostfwd=... allows me to ssh into port 22215 from my Linux host
  to hit port 22 in the guest

* "dhclient vtnet0 && pkg install git gettext gmake python libiconv"
  should be enough to get started

kvm -smp 8 -m 2048 \
        -drive if=virtio,file=FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-amd64.qcow2 \
        -net nic,model=virtio \
        -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:22215-:22 \
        -display curses
