It most probably is.

Well... Without more information it will probably just stay there and you 
would get a periodic "Is this still a problem with recent release of 
X.Org/FreeBSD".
Are there any messages about the problem in /var/log/messages? Did you try to 
break to debugger at the time system froze?

The directories should be there even since system startup. Is 
your /etc/rc.d/cleartmp up to date? That is probably unrelated though.
