Go to http[s]://m0n0/exec.php and run 'netstat -m'.

Output should be something like this:

$ netstat -m
199/432/4096 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
	199 mbufs allocated to data
196/300/1024 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
708 Kbytes allocated to network (23% of mb_map in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines


I've maxed out at 432 out of 4096, on a heavily used 4 Mb connection.  

In normal circumstances, this really shouldn't ever happen.  Are you
sure there aren't several worm infected machines on your LAN hammering
your firewall to death?

from 'man vr':

     vr%d: no memory for tx list  The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for
     the transmitter ring when allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf
     chain into a cluster.
