After some digging it looks like vm.kmem_size* are the loader tunables you're 
looking for. See loader(8) for a description.

However, does it make sense to have this much kernel memory? What is it caused 
by? mbufs? If you dump netstat -m periodically from cron, is that where the 
memory is going?
