Try "pstat -s".  You should get something like:

	Device      512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
	/dev/sd0b        67584    48264    19320    71%    Interleaved

This doesn't tell you quite the same things that "free" does under
Linux in terms of how much memory is being used vs. swap, but I'm not
sure how to get that information.  (You can look at the sysctl man
page, but I didn't find anything very useful there.)
