Inclusion of the SysV IPC modules (shared memory, semaphores & message
queues) in the kernel is controlled by the kernel config file.  As you're
CVSup'ing, you'll have the necessary kernel source for a rebuild.  IIRC
the LINT config file has some docs on the twiddlable knobs for these.
ISTR at least shared memory and semaphores being included in the GENERIC
kernel config (for XFree86?) but the default allocations may not be
sufficient for you.
