The support was pulled out again because people are still experiencing
problems. I'm running OpenBSD 4.4-current and there's still no bigmem
support (that's enabled by default anyway).
See http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=122349979023721&w=2 (my bigmem
test results) and http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=122332037509187&w=2
for more information.
The short story is; you cannot have it. You can of course try to enable
it and see if it works for you.
