you could do a "kill -SIGHUP postmaster_pid".  This will tell postmaster to re-read the configuration files.

Nope, sorry.

This *is* documented btw.

MAX_CONNECTIONS (integer)

     Determines the maximum number of concurrent connections to the database server. The default is 32 (unless
     altered while building the server). This parameter can only be set at server start.
