For example, few checkboxes with common sysctl tuning would be perfect, even if they would be marked as "Experimental", or not recommended. I'm thinking it's better way to make something in one place (like in installer) rather than require make almost same actions in many (hundreds of thousands?... more?...) places (end-users forced to read mail-lists/handbooks/forums over and over for same solutions). Simple example - many connections for PostgreSQL is not available on FreeBSD out-of-box. Just google "postgresql freebsd max connection" and you'll see how many there bikesheds requested and same solutions posted again and again :)
This is what openSUSE does - it's possible to zoom through the installer choosing the defaults, but on the final page before installation you can tweak everything from the location of the bootloader to sysctl values. I know this has been tried before, but I wonder if we need a project to build a new installer that can do this, perhaps funded through the FreeBSD Foundation?
