If your your NanoBSD does not really serve several human "non-root" users,
just use global /etc/crontab and be happy :-)

OTOH, I sometimes use a software looking to /var with NanoBSD,
so I just place symlinks into initial /var contents that /etc/rc.diskless
uses to populate /var at boot time. And these symlinks point to /etc
that is preserved in /cfg.
