You should be able to use gdb (assuming you have already booted). The 
following will change the value for any subsequent boot:

ataritt# gdb --write /netbsd

This GDB was configured as "m68k--netbsdelf"...(no debugging symbols found)

(gdb) print st_pool_size / 8192
$2 = 24
(gdb) set st_pool_size = 48 * 8192
(gdb) quit
