It appears to be documented in the manpages:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tuning&sektion=7
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader&sektion=8

...and sys/boot/forth/loader.conf says:

#hw.physmem="1G"                # Limit physical memory. See loader(8)
#kern.dfldsiz=""                # Set the initial data size limit
#kern.dflssiz=""                # Set the initial stack size limit
#kern.hz="100"                  # Set the kernel interval timer rate
#kern.maxbcache=""              # Set the max buffer cache KVA storage
#kern.maxdsiz=""                # Set the max data size
#kern.maxfiles=""               # Set the sys. wide open files limit
#kern.maxproc=""                # Set the maximum # of processes
#kern.maxssiz=""                # Set the max stack size
#kern.maxswzone=""              # Set the max swmeta KVA storage
#kern.maxtsiz=""                # Set the max text size
