pgAdmin has a mechanism to suggest values (currently for autovacuum and 
listen_address only), which waits for expansion :-) I could think of a 
wizard that asks decent questions, resulting in proposals.

Whether implemented as GUI or not, a questionaire and suggested 
algorithms to calculate settings (eyeballed from Core) would be a good 
starting point.
