Well, the sysutils/dmidecode port can be used to answer that question:
pi# dmidecode -t memory
# dmidecode 2.8

Also, is there an easy way to silence the following warnings in dmesg?
They all appear to be about the serial and parallel ports, which,
as far
as I know, the machine does have. They may not be enabled in the BIOS,
however.
I think those messages only appear if you do a verbose boot...?
