A VLAN is an interface, so interface limits apply.
exactly. there probably is a hard limit of some sort in FreeBSD, but it's likely ridiculously high (like into the thousands or something of that nature).
With that said, the FAQ entry clearly states 32 is all that is _supported_ but you can have more, the GUI will likely become painfully slow. We'll be working on scalability (after a few other gotcha's are cleared up), in the meantime, try it out, shouldn't be too hard to create 32 vlan interfaces ;) Let us know how it performs, let us know if there really is a limit (I couldn't find one in code).
Scott and I discussed last night how well it would or wouldn't scale as you add interfaces, and the consensus is we just don't know at this point. So where did this 32 number come from? http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/faq.html :) There is one limitation in m0n0wall that limits you to 32 interfaces with a DHCP server, because each DHCP server instance in FreeBSD 4.x requires a bpf device, and m0n0wall only has 32 bpf devices. But even the m0n0wall FAQ entry was a guess between Manuel and myself, due to the number of people that kept asking the question.
