I think we should start asking what you want to do with this database server - do you expect many connections / large queries or do you maybe just need the database running to restore old dumps and lookup something in the data.
You can indeed run oracle with only very low physical memory - if you have enough virtual memory - I have seen DB2 servers kept entirely in virtual memory ... but as Bakunin already stated - the performance of such kind of servers is really bad - so you won't have much joy.

allkmem
mem(7D) Devices mem(7D)
NAME
mem, kmem, allkmem - physical or virtual memory access
SYNOPSIS
/dev/mem
/dev/kmem
/dev/allkmem
DESCRIPTION
The file /dev/mem is a special file that provides access to the physical memory of the computer.
The file /dev/kmem is a special file that provides access to the virtual address space of the operating system kernel, excluding memory
that is associated with an I/O device.
The file /dev/allkmem is a special file that provides access to the virtual address space of the operating system kernel, including memory
that is associated with an I/O device. You can use any of these devices to examine and modify the system.
Byte addresses in /dev/mem are interpreted as physical memory addresses. Byte addresses in /dev/kmem and /dev/allkmem are interpreted as
kernel virtual memory addresses. A reference to a non-existent location returns an error. See ERRORS for more information.
The file /dev/mem accesses physical memory; the size of the file is equal to the amount of physical memory in the computer. This size may
be larger than 4GB on a system running the 32-bit operating environment. In this case, you can access memory beyond 4GB using a series of
read(2) and write(2) calls, a pread64() or pwrite64() call, or a combination of llseek(2) and read(2) or write(2).
ERRORS
EFAULT Occurs when trying to write(2) a read-only location (allkmem), read(2) a write-only location (allkmem), or read(2) or write(2) a
non-existent or unimplemented location (mem, kmem, allkmem).
EIO Occurs when trying to read(2) or write(2) a memory location that is associated with an I/O device using the /dev/kmem special
file.
ENXIO Results from attempting to mmap(2) a non-existent physical (mem) or virtual (kmem, allkmem) memory address.
FILES
/dev/mem Provides access to the computer's physical memory.
/dev/kmem Provides access to the virtual address space of the operating system kernel, excluding memory that is associated with an
I/O device.
/dev/allkmem Provides access to the virtual address space of the operating system kernel, including memory that is associated with an
I/O device.
SEE ALSO
llseek(2), mmap(2), read(2), write(2)
WARNINGS
Using these devices to modify (that is, write to) the address space of a live running operating system or to modify the state of a
hardware device is extremely dangerous and may result in a system panic if kernel data structures are damaged or if device state is
changed.
