You can use disklabel -r to look at the disklabels and see if you have any B partitions assigned on your disks. You can then edit /etc/fstab to point to the new swap space. You'd have either to destroy & recreate your partitions in order to get more swap space, or lose some speed and create a vmswap (?) file. I can't remember the actual name. See the mail archives for this solution, I think someone posted it a while back.
