Probably, no.  sys/kern/init_sysent.c says:

#ifdef SYSVSHM
        { 3, s(struct sys_shmat_args),
            sys_shmat },                        /* 228 = shmat */
        { 3, s(struct sys_shmctl_args),
            sys_shmctl },                       /* 229 = shmctl */
        { 1, s(struct sys_shmdt_args),
            sys_shmdt },                        /* 230 = shmdt */
        { 3, s(struct sys_shmget_args),
            sys_shmget },                       /* 231 = shmget */
#else

So, if you configured these SYSVxxx options correctly, there would be
little chance to have 'unimplemented shmget', I think.  What does your
'opt_sysv.h' in your compiling directory say?
