Of course :)

1.

Use vipw(8) to set your login class in /etc/passwd and its shadow db
(/etc/master.passwd). Man page is passwd(5).

2. 

Create /etc/login.conf to contain a capability on the resource limits
which suits you. Refer to the class from before. Relevant man-page is
login.conf(5).

3. 

Run cap_mkdb on the login.conf file to get its (hash-table) capability
database built. man page: cap_mkdb(1). 

4. 

Login with the user. Verify everything is right with ulimit and that the
capability database gets read correctly.

5. 

fixpoint(Compile-MLton).
