It's fairly easy and is described in detail on the FreeBSD diary. The direct link to this article is: http://www.freebsddiary.org/swap.html Note that in 4.0 the vn driver is a loadable module, and you will not need to recompile your kernel. You can load the module by typing: kldload vn This should get you started. Good luck. If something doesn't work, feel free to e-mail me privatly and I'll give you a hand.
