FreeBSD does neither limit the number of users nor does it limit the number of virtual consoles to three. It seems to me you're speaking of the latter point. If you want more than three virtual consoles you've to edit /etc/ttys and add lines like ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure Futhermore take a look at the kernel option `MAXCONS'. Since it defaults to 12 you'll probably don't need to change it and don't need to recompile the kernel. Don't forget to let one of the virtual consoles `unused' by `getty' if you want to run X11. The kernel parameter `maxusers' is used to set the size of internal data structures (e.g., the max # of processes depends on it). There's no static limit for the number of users.
