This will happen automatically if you go to multiuser without a
writeable /tmp.  See /etc/rc.d/tmp
I have a problem with the semantics of the rc scripts for this and
var, though - if you are going to use a memory-backed filesystem, you
should reserve all the space at the outset.  "Bad things" can occur as
you approach the memory limit (like a kernel panic) otherwise.

I'd prefer something like this:

        _mdunit=`mdconfig -a -n -t malloc -o reserve -s ${tmpsize}`
        newfs /dev/md${_mdunit} > /dev/null 2>&1
        mount -o ${tmpmfs_flags} /dev/md${_mdunit} /tmp

But that's just me. mount_md doesn't quite do this.
