On most suns I've seen, /tmp is mounted against swap. In that case, simply
booting into single user mode would be sufficient, since /tmp will
automatically be clear.

I do indeed stand corrected: The only 2 sollutions are:
1) change to single user mode by means of init S
  and rm -rf /tmp/* /tmp/.*
2) shutdown and boot -s into single user mode.
