Can PIPE_BUF be increased?

As far as I can tell, PIPE_BUF is 512 bytes by default. Using getconf
and looking at the header files /usr/include. I'm writing a program
that would benefit from a larger PIPE_BUF, is it possible to change this
value? It looks like Linux and OS X have a higher default and OS X will
do some magic to increase the size if necessary. I haven't found
anything indicating the same in FreeBSD.
Thanks,
