If you're going to create separate partitions for /boot and /home, it seems that the following order would make sense: / /boot swap /var /tmp /usr /home HOWEVER, given that the default installation of FreeBSD seems to have /home as a link to /usr/home, I'd be highly reluctant to depart from that, and just keep the user home directories where they belong, in /usr/home.
