Here is a script to log the data:

#!/bin/sh

readonly QUEUES="active inactive wire cache free total"
readonly FORMAT="%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n"

vm_page_counts() {
    for queue in $QUEUES; do
        if [ "$queue" != "total" ]; then
            sysctl -n vm.stats.vm.v_${queue}_count
        fi
    done
}

sum() {
    s=0
    while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
        s=$((s + $1))
        shift
    done
    echo $s
}

print_counts() {
    counts="`vm_page_counts`"
    printf "$FORMAT" $counts `sum $counts`
}

printf "$FORMAT" $QUEUES
print_counts
while sleep 60; do
    print_counts
done
