I have local /dev /var /tmp and swap I am mounting the local disk to /dev2/wd0 The /dev is a link to /var/dev The 4 workstations have common root and usr on the server (read only) + user filesystems in 4-5 nfs servers. This seems to work. You have to config xdm (If you use it) so it writes authdata to /var not to /usr The rc needs some modifications to prevent users to boot workstations to single user.
