As of some version of Leopard you no longer use /etc/sysctl.conf or  
ulimit.

You use launchd.

To make them survive reboots add them to /etc/launchd.conf

Here is mine:
bash-3.2# cat /etc/launchd.conf
limit maxfiles 4096 unlimited
limit maxproc 2048 unlimited

This will squash the dovecot warning.
