Compile-time kernel defines are described in options(4). Since you
can't hardly use more memory than you have, I guess you want to make
the kernel itself smaller. You may get some more ideas by looking at
the configs for the INSTALL kernels, though their constraints are
slightly different than yours. (They just need to fit on a floppy.)
They currently have "options PIPE_SOCKETPAIR", "options
MALLOC_NOINLINE", "options VNODE_OP_NOINLINE", and of course,
they have many features stripped out.
