I have used the equivalent loader variable hw.physmem to limit memory
usage for quite a while with no panics. Try putting
hw.physmem="768M"
in /boot/loader.conf and see if it does what you want.

It looks like there is just 512M of available memory in the system
anyhow. Setting MAXMEM to 768M isn't going to do you any good.
