    I'll tell you what not to try...

    My next plan is to develop a special-purpose processor that extracts 
the freebase schema from the dump in one pass,  and another one that 
constructs a taxonomic skeleton of freebase in a second pass.  Both of 
these should have modest RAM requirements.  At this point I think it 
would be easy to build out relational tables for types that you're 
interested in and populate them in yet another pass.  This ought to be a 
pretty efficient procedure.
