You can use swap, but you have to halt the first boot and change rc.conf to not resize the disk. I did this before and it wasn't worth it. File-based swap is fast enough for situations where I've thought I needed it, but I don't normally do that either. I haven't had a situation where I actually need it.
sysinst does not create a boot that will work on anything but x86, and as far as I know this is intentional: the other systems vary too much.
You can cook your own installation; I've done that too, but frankly I had too much trouble getting U-boot to work. Most days using the serial console is a big hassle for me. If only it was 19,200 baud...
I'll keep my opinions on MBR and GPT to myself; I don't like most things that come from the x86 world.
