The limit for FFSv1 is 2^31 fragments, with large fragments you could

However both FFSv1 and FFSv2 are limited by the label - Current might
have enough patches to support 2^32-1 sectors.

Note that FFSv2 wil only support 2^31 inodes per filesystem, and that the
large number of cylinder groups probably does little to improve performance.

Interestingly the kernel has support to 64bit disk sector numbers :-)
