Hello
Shane,
All settings are as expected by both sysctl.conf and loader.conf

Try bumping shmmni:
$ sysctl -d kern.ipc.shmmni
kern.ipc.shmmni: Number of shared memory identifiers
I have this set to 1000 on most of my systems. Can't seem to find my
notes on it right now, but that may be your holdup. The PG docs seem
to indicate that this number can be set very low, as PG only needs a
single identifier, but I must have had _some_ reason for raising it.

Your sysctl output above shows kern.ipc.shmmni is set to 192

Take a close look here.
Christiaan mentioned kern.ipc.shmmni the list above shows
kern.ipc.semmni (you may only be listing others)
Double check that your settings are what you expect.
Also check /etc/sysctl.conf which may override some of the changeable
options from loader.conf.
Settings in loader.conf are only required for read-only options (that
need a reboot to take effect). Others are often changed in sysctl.conf
Check your running settings against what you expect.
Just a guess here - kern.ipc.shmall and kern.ipc.shmmax seem very high
but not sure if this can lead to the issue.

kern.ipc.shmall: Maximum number of pages available for shared memory
Looks like you have set this to equal your installed RAM but a page is
a bit more than one byte. (is it 4K to a page?)
You haven't mentioned whether you are using the generic kernel or a
custom built one (with what changes?)
For reference - I have an old P4 3Ghz with 1GB RAM (32bit)
FreeBSD 7 release with a custom kernel to turn on the new scheduler
I can set shared_buffers to 64MB (you mentioned trouble over 32MB)
