fbsd6 and mbufs

Absolute BSD, in the Tweaking Kernel Performance section of chapter 4, 
recommends increasing the number of mbufs for high network servers, by 
setting the NMBCLUSTERS option in the kernel.

Is this still a good idea/possible in 6 stable, and if so is there a 
sysctl variable for it, or does it still need to be done in a custom kernel?

Thanks
Jeff
