df only shows the status of mounted file systems, and swap areas don't
have file systems on them --- well, unless you count such things as
MFS (mount_mfs(8)) or md(4), but those will show up in df output if
you've any of them mounted.
Use `swapinfo' to see the status of your swap areas:
happy-idiot-talk:~:% swapinfo
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type
/dev/da0s1b 1048448 0 1048448 0% Interleaved
Curiously similar to the output of df...
