In /sys/conf/param.c.  It's:

#define NPROC (20 + 16 * MAXUSERS)
int     maxproc = NPROC;        /* maximum # of processes */
....
int     maxfiles = NPROC*2;     /* system wide open files limit */

So basically, bumping maxusers in your config file is the fastest way
out.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
