I think so.  Solaris 8 is even using a tmpfs for /var/run.

Anybody who stores something in /var/run and expects it to survive a
reboot needs to change his mind.

To quote hier(9):

      run/       system information files describing various info
                 about system since it was booted
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
