Your best bet is to get an old version (for example : 2.2.8, the last FreeBSD-2 version). This should function in 4 MB, but : don't expect a ball of fire. Recent versions of FreeBSD run fine in 8MB of ram (well, 4.2-beta did). I think that it should run in 4MB if you really pare down the kernel. -current is another matter. I haven't tried to run it in less than 16MB. However, sysinstall needs at least 12MB, and is happier with 16MB of RAM. I've had problems on some machines with 16M using sysinstall.
