This is the best one I've found yet. The kern.ipc.sem* sysctl settings
are "read-only", so apparently they can only be modified upon a reboot,
by listing them in /boot/loader.conf:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-sysctl.html

Just tried it, and adding a line with

  kern.ipc.semmns="100"

to /boot/loader.conf and rebooting increases this setting. So I'd suggest
taking the output from "sysctl kern.ipc.semmns", add 18 to the current
value, and put that into /boot/loader.conf. Same for the kern.ipc.semmni
value - increase that by 6.

That should cover what Hobbit needs.
