You can edit the *NIX script to get the desired result. Just adjust the following lines in $splunk_home/etc/apps/unix/bin/vmstat.sh.
DERIVE='END {memUsedMB=memTotalMB-memFreeMB;
to
DERIVE='END {memUsedMB=memTotalMB-memFreeMB-memBuffMB-memCacheMB;
and
PARSE_1='/total memory$/ {memTotalMB=$1/1024} /free memory$/ {memFreeMB=$1/1024}'
to
PARSE_1='/total memory$/ {memTotalMB=$1/1024} /free memory$/ {memFreeMB=$1/1024} /buffer memory$/ {memBuffMB=$1/1024} /swap cache$/ {memCacheMB=$1/1024}'
