I get it; it's just not relevant.

Yeah, it does.

No, it doesn't. What are you talking about? Look at /etc/init.d/alsasound:
depend() {
need localmount
after bootmisc modules isapnp coldplug hotplug
}
Look at the first need from alsasound depend: it says, that it goes
after localmount. If you have /var in NFS (a very weird setup for a
desktop machine) maybe it will cause problems: but then it would be
fault of OpenRC (or the alsasound init script). If /var is on a
different partition, localmount will mount it and *then* alsasound
will execute.
And it makes sense: the volume restoring doesn't matter until
immediately before running gdm and going into the desktop; of course
you can mount /var before that.
>That's the situation on nearly every gentoo system

Yeah, and as I explained, thanks to need localmount there is no problem.
>(systemd might handle this different, I have no idea)
Yeah, it does more intelligently: as I said, the volume restoring is
only needed just before starting X.
> Got it? Your system is not the center of the world.
No, but I start to think you don't know *your* system. Check the
alsasound init script.
The /var directory doesn't need to be on the same partition as /. Period.
