You managed to link to a mktemp man page for some old Red Hat version there (note the URL); FreeBSD's mktemp man page (for the 9.2 release) is here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mktemp&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+9.2-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html which supports -t, but with a different meaning compared to contemporary Linux.
