Given that the server that I need to create a dumpdev on has has a

the the resources needed for a dumpdev, as well as everything else in
/var. Is it enough to simply:

# mkdir /var/crash
# chmod 700 /var/crash

and set *dumpdev* in */etc/fstab* as such?:

No. For the dumpdev in most cases you can use your swap.
Also you will need a dumpdir - directory where crash will be saved by
the savecore(8).
Try this:
# cat >> /etc/rc.conf
dumpdev="AUTO"
dumpdir="/var/crash"
^D
# /etc/rc.d/dumpon start
