And how about the /export/swap (or whatever is used for client swap
space in SunOS 4.x) partition?   Once the files are created (using
mkfile for each client), they are never allocated again.  It seems to
make sense to set the %free to zero for this partition.

I have done that and everything seems fine.  Am I wrong?
