The solaris FAQ says:

1.16) How can I enable System V IPC? Ipcs says it isn't configured in.

    There's nothing you need to do to enable System V IPC, but on boot     up "ipcs" always says:

	IPC status from <running system> as of <date>
	Message Queue facility not in system.
	Shared Memory facility not in system.
	Semaphore facility not in system.

    This just means that no one has yet used the Message Queue/Shared Memory     or Semaphore facility yet. They'll be loaded on first use.

    If you really want to have them loaded at boot time, add the     following to /etc/system:

	forceload: sys/msgsys
	forceload: sys/semsys
	forceload: sys/shmsys

    In Solaris 7, ipcs will report the unloaded facilities as inactive rather     than "not present in system".
