I was unable to get your patch to work on my freebsd machines,  I found it 
easier to simply comment out the vm lines in the xymonclient-freebsd.sh file 
and my memory functions came back to life. 

/www/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-freebsd.sh
#echo "[vmtotal]"
#sysctl vm.vmtotal

I use a mofified freebsd-meminfo taken from Ralf S. Engelschall freebsd-memory 
perl script.

I can provide the script as needed just email me.
