Only if you put something in the bootup process to recreate it. I
delete /tmp and recreate it early in the boot process. Under the
RedHat init scheme I'd say right after /etc/mtab get cleared. Its
probably in rc.sysinit.
# Clear /tmp
rm -fr /tmp
mkdir /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp

I just leave /tmp as part of my root file system.
