local[k] simply creates k threads in the same process, so you just need to set the memory of the spawning process, using standard Java options.
Also, avoid SPARK_MEM when possible, as it will be deprecated by 1.0.0. (In 0.9.0 and prior versions, you still need SPARK_MEM to set shell memory, though.)
