This is copied out of qmail/bin/dh_key:

openssl dhparam -2 -out /var/qmail/control/dh1024.new 2048 2>&1 > /dev/null
chmod 644 /var/qmail/control/dh1024.new 2>&1 > /dev/null
chown root:qmail /var/qmail/control/dh1024.new 2>&1 > /dev/null
mv -f /var/qmail/control/dh1024.new /var/qmail/control/dh1024.pem 2>&1 >
/dev/null

I've changed to "2048" (from 1024) toward the end of the first line.
