Per the code:

max_connections
shared_buffers
max_fsm_pages        (slated to die anyway in 8.4)
lc_messages
lc_monetary
lc_numeric
lc_time
datestyle
default_text_search_config

The first three of those are derived from probing the SHMMAX setting,
and the rest are from the initdb-time locale settings.
