You are correct that they relate to sysctl but they are not the same thing.. e.g., 'kern.hz' in loader.conf becomes 'kern.clockrate.hz' in sysctl, i.e., it's not a 1:1 correspondence. Since they're not the same somewhere they ought to be documented... though I'm getting the feeling they're not :-) FYI, below is a list of all the ones I found by hunting through the kernel. No idea what most of them do.
