They shouldn't be. From sysctl(8),
Name Type Changeable
... ... ...
kern.maxproc integer no
And if we go to the code,
$ grep -w maxproc /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_mib.c
SYSCTL_INT(_kern, KERN_MAXPROC, maxproc, CTLFLAG_RD,
&maxproc, 0, "Maximum number of processes");
Note the 'CTLFLAG_RD;' it's read-only.
You need to recompile to change it.
