There are 3 things you could do:
a) Limit your memory size in the loader
b) Use partial dumps
c) Use network dumps if you have another machine to run the dump
server on.
Both the netdump & partial dump code can be found at:

Both may be a little out of date & require some work to get working
with a recent -stable, as they were developed in the days when 4.0 was
-current.
