I mean you don't have to create a filesystem within a partition.
Instead of doing:

gpart create -s mbr da0
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs da0
newfs /dev/da0s1

You can instead create the filesystem on the plain disk instead:

newfs /dev/da0


The only issue I've had is when I forgot a disk had a filesystem and
ended up repartitioning over it when I did a reinstall, because
sysinstall showed the disk as being blank.
