If I want to install a non open-source application which wants to create an application directory on a *BSD system, I have NO standard BSD hier compliant solution but an accepted one - to install in /usr/local. Any other location is possible but not acceptable in the BSD world.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Most BSD users assume 3rd party packages will be installed into /usr/local, and as such, /usr and/or /usr/local are often separate "larger" partitions.
The size of the / partition is not guaranteed, in fact, it's only 150M on my workstations.. as you can see, users might not be happy with you creating a /opt directory and using up all the available space.
That's my opinion.
