You can make these lines take effect without reboot in the following
manner (as root):

sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2
sysctl -w net.inet.udp.blackhole=1
sysctl -w kern.ps_showallprocs=0


rebooting would also make them take effect, but if you're anything like
most BSD users (myself included) you are allergic to downtime.
