Here is how I bump up values to run a large-ish postgresql server  
under 6.0-p4:

in /boot/loader.conf I have

kern.ipc.semmni=32
kern.ipc.semmns=512


and in /etc/sysctl.conf I have

# tuning for PostgreSQL
kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1
kern.ipc.shmmax=1073741824
kern.ipc.shmall=262144
kern.ipc.semmsl=512
kern.ipc.semmap=256


and it works just fine.  IIRC it worked the same in 5.4.
