It can be increased, but you habe to restart the server for the change to take effect. It is not a good idea to increase the setting without thought. There is a Wiki article about it: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Number_Of_Database_Connections If you need more than 100 connections, consider the use of a connection pool.
