As promised, I just committed all that I had:
http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/commitdiff/093e85dc37f44ee67afc6d1c3e8c9e24e29764cc

There is currently a Google Code-In student working on the
vfs.hammer.* sysctl's, and the p1003_1b.* sysctl's are listed as a
project for Google Code-In presently, but that task has not been
claimed as yet.

That leaves ~120 other undocumented sysctl's in the GENERIC kernel,
there are more in LINT no doubt.
