No need for a new kernel. Just use sysctl to set the value at runtime,
like this, in your /etc/sysctl.conf file (create it if you don't have
one already)

# tuning for PostgreSQL
kern.ipc.shmall=65535
kern.ipc.shmmax=268435456
kern.ipc.shm_use_phys=1

You can run the above with, eg, "sysctl -w kern.ipc.shmall=65535" at
the command line as well, at any time.
