Do you really need to recompile? I find in the man page:

       -N max-connections
              Sets the maximum number of client connections that this postmas-
              ter will accept. By default, this value is 32, but it can be set
              as high as your system will support. (Note that -B  is  required
              to  be at least twice -N. See the section called ``Managing Ker-
              nel Resources'' in the documentation for a discussion of  system
              resource  requirements for large numbers of client connections.)
