You don't. But you have to have good knowledge of structure. See here(7). 
I don't use /var as fbsd-partition and I have links on /tmp, /var/crash,
/var/mail, /var/tmp, /usr/obj, /usr/src, /usr/X11R6/src, (/usr/local) etc. 
I also have links on all files in /etc, which I changed. You must install
(with sysinstall) at least set bin. See also /etc/daily, weekly, monthly.
4.4 BSD structure is very clever and clear, on diference from 4.2 or 4.3.
