Isn't it sufficient to unmount any partitions and keep /
in -o ro mode, and then perform the glabel command, which
is obviously best done in single user mode?

	# shutdown now
	# umount /home /usr /var /tmp
	# mount -r /
	# glabel label rootfs /dev/ad0s1a
	# glabel label tmp /dev/ad0s1d
	# glabel label var /dev/ad0s1e
	# glabel label usr /dev/ad0s1f
	# glabel label home /dev/ad0s1g

For example like this?
