assuming you are after CBQ, there is a limit of 256 queues imposed right
now. This is the
#define CBQ_MAX_CLASSES 256
in /usr/src/sys/altq/altq_cbq.h

from a quick glance over it I don't see what's stopping you to increase it,
but I never tried. you have to make sure that 
ROOT_CLASS_HANDLE (value 0xfffffffe)
and
DEFAULT_CLASS_HANDLE (value 0xfffffffd)
are > CBQ_MAX_CLASSES, but that is already an insanely high limit.
i'd say "try it" ;-)
