Inclusion of the SysV IPC modules (shared memory, semaphores & message queues) in the kernel is controlled by the kernel config file. As you're CVSup'ing, you'll have the necessary kernel source for a rebuild. IIRC the LINT config file has some docs on the twiddlable knobs for these. ISTR at least shared memory and semaphores being included in the GENERIC kernel config (for XFree86?) but the default allocations may not be sufficient for you.
