You'd propably find that your service deamons run out of the file
descriptor they need for logging, sockets, etc, long before you hit any
real limits in the OS. For FreeBSD+Apache several 1000-ands is
certainly not uncommon. 

Beyond that is might not make sense, as you will propably hit problems
other than related to bandwith, processing and memory limits; which cause
you to rethink your management strategy :-) 

There are several hints on www.apache.org you propably find usefull.
