Something I have noticed,
when the memory error occurs during the psql session (after a failed
vacuumdb attempt) the memory stays at 600+MB in top (under size) until
the psql session is closed -- that may just be the way top reports it
though.

Double-check your system limits via "ulimit -a" or "ulimit -aH". By default, FreeBSD will probably restrict the maximum data size of the process to 512MB, which may be what you are running into. You can rebuild the kernel to permit a larger data size, or else tweak /boot/ loader.conf:

    echo 'kern.maxdsiz="1024M"' >> /boot/loader.conf
