/etc/rc.conf and haven't experienced any problems:
tmpmfs_flags="-S -o async"

Is there a way to accomplish this with an fstab entry?

md /tmp mfs rw,async,-s1024m,-S

no,I don't think so. But surely it would be better to just fixup the
standard mount -t path to not call mount_mfs...


Actually there is a way. I too have not been satisfied with the tmpmfs
features in rc, so for some time now I've simply created a hard link:

cd /sbin && ln -f mdmfs mount_md

and then used an entry like this in /etc/fstab:

md /tmp md rw,async,-Sp1777,-s768M 0 0

This works great for me. A simple patch to mtree could make this hard link
part of the base system. Nothing else is needed.
