They are in sys/arch/i386/include/vmparam.h. But instead of changing
them there, you can also override them in your kernel config file.

The defines in question are:

DFLDSIZ  (initial data size limit)
MAXDSIZ  (max data size)
DFLSSIZ  (initial stack size limit)
MAXSSIZ  (max stack size)

Btw, after 1.2, the values were raised considerably to get them up to
'modern' standards. The datasize limits went from 16M/256M to 128M/1G.
