Thanks again for pointing to this reference on the other 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.general/28712 thread Matthew.

Let me try to understand the advantage of the mfs/union method that you 
suggest there.  With that method anything that the system writes to /var/log
or /var/run ultimately ends up written to the swap partition so that it will
persist through a reboot... correct?  But *scratching my head trying to figure
this out* how can that work if the swap partition does not have a newfs'd
filesystem?
