Nothing bad should happen.  I have done this on a few of our BSD and SVR3
systems where we didn't have enough disk space to create a standalone /tmp
partition, and /usr had about 60 Mb free space.  Just make sure your boot time
scripts don't "rm -rf /tmp; mkdir /tmp" like one System V host I have did.
