The function keys do not limit your virtual consoles: I have only 12 
function keys, but a year or so ago I set my inittab to give me 24 virtual 
consoles.  The second set of 12 are only accessible via the alt-leftarrow 
, alt-rightarrow sequences, from the first and twelfth virtual consoles 
respectively.

Afaik, you can have up to 256, although how exactly one would manage all 
of those is beyond me.
