Questions:
Can VM_KMEM_SIZE_MAX be set manually with sysctl?

No, but you could set it with this procedure:
1. Insert the lines
 vm.kmem_size=123456789
 vm.kmem_size_max=1234567890
in
 /boot/loader.conf

2. reboot

That should change those values...
(see src/sys/kern/kern_malloc.c)

I wonder, why your box needs such a big buffer? Do u have network traffic
bursts or so?
Regardless what purpose is for, the net.bpf.bufsize should never
set above hardware cache size. The best (optimal size) is 50% - 80%
of the hardware cache size, unless original BPF is modified in some
way I do not know.
Such high bufsize will degrade performance.
