I think it would be a good idea check every tool you think you might need, and build a staticly linked executable if the existing executable isn't. Most of what you need will be staticly linked by default, but e.g. sshd, ftp, find, vim, are not. (If all goes as planned, you won't need any of those while /usr/lib is being moved, but ... ) (Caveat: this isn't based on experience with freebsd, it's based experience with linux boxen, where *everything* is typically staticly linked, unless someone rebuilt tools.)
