Would not the info displayed in the command "top" suffice?
Yes, "top -n 1" does (sort of) display the info I need.

The swap portion gives me the same info as Linux free, the memory
portion is more cryptic, I guess due to differences in how FreeBSD
allocates memory.

Although a BSD free would probably be easier to remember, top -n 1 does the job.



You could create a shell alias for it.
In bash: a
    alias free='top -n 1'
put that in your profile so you have it on login.

Also there is a port:
   /usr/ports/sysutils/freecolor

Works just like the free linux command; but has fancy colors. :)
Again, you can alias that to free if you want.
