You can add it at any time. It's better if you have a raw partition to swap
on, of course.

presumably, your /etc/fstab has an entry akin to this

/dev/ada0p3             none                    swap    sw              0 0

You can add another if you have another partition ready. You can swap to a
file, too. Not recommended, but helpful in an emergency. You might try to
figure out what is consuming your existing swap.
