Thanks to a submmited patch of Callum Gibson the ipcrm(1) program now has the capabilities to wipe all unused shared memory segments, message queues and semaphore sets. You can either chose to specify the individually (e.g. only the message queues, or only the shared memory segments) or just wipe them all with the -W option.

This will be availabe in FreeBSD >7.0, >6.3 and >5.5.
