In my opinion this should be fixed in FreeSWITCH by changing RLIMIT_AS to
RLIMIT_VMEM. If this is in pkgsrc, it should be fixed there.
Neither NetBSD nor OpenBSD have RLIMIT_AS and there is no need for it if it'll be
just the same as RLIMIT_VMEM.
Actually, it turns out that NetBSD does have it also.
resource.h:
#define RLIMIT_AS 10 /* virtual process size (inclusive of mmap) /
#define RLIMIT_VMEM RLIMIT_AS / common alias */
OpenBSD seems to be the only one that does not have it.
By the way, FreeSWITCH is not in pkgsrc. I was trying to compile it
natively. However, the RLIMIT_AS issue was not the only one. Every
time I fixed one problem there was another. Apparently it is very Linux
centric. I don't have a lot of time to work on it so I gave up for now
and am going to take a closer look at yate.

I've just seen that RLIMIT_AS is actually POSIX:

So we should add it. It'll probably happen during GSoC (POSIX Compliance Project).
Thanks for following up on this. It is looking to me like RLIMIT_AS is (or is
becoming?) more of the standard and RLIMIT_VMEM is BSD specific. I do not
see any mention of RLIMIT_VMEM in the posix specifications and Linux does not
seem to support it either. At least it did not show up when I grep'd the
Linux headers under /archive/Linux-2.6.13.1 on leaf for it.
