Cool it only makes sense to reuse swap space.

If you mean /tmp not /temp then I guess that is "sharable" without
problems - I assume you have 4 different distros on one local box - not
mounting drives from other machines, right? I would stay away from /usr
and /var as too many programs use them and if you install a program with
distro specifc items you will definitely run into problems. I am sure
someone will post specific problems for you :0
My two cents,
