They are the same setting but as Remi said it is not supported by dnsdist.

from listen(2):
     The
     kern.ipc.somaxconn	sysctl(3) has been replaced with
     kern.ipc.soacceptqueue in FreeBSD 10.0 to prevent confusion about

     its actual functionality.  The original sysctl(3)
kern.ipc.somaxconn is still
     available but hidden from a sysctl(3) -a output so	that existing
     applications and scripts continue	to work.
