One approach would be to split up the workload into two (or more)
JVM's, each of which using less than the current 2GB limit.

If that approach is not workable for your problem domain, then please
consider the fact that no matter what changes are made, a 32-bit
platform is never going to be able to give your JVM more than 4 GB. If
you really have a need to exceed 2GB JVM heap size, you should
seriously consider switching to a 64-bit platform. I don't know
whether Java+FreeBSD+AMD64 is stable enough for production, so Sun
SPARC or even a PowerPC-based Mac might be a better choice.
