There has been a lot of work in some OS stacks (Vista and recent linux kernels) to enable TCP auto-tuning (of one form or another), ...
on <http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2008/02/26/whats-new-in-freebsd-70.html> i'd read that freebsd 7 also has some tcp auto tuning logic.
There are certain things that the stack can do, like auto-adjusting the window size, tuning retransmission intervals, etc. But other problem are at the application layer, as you noted a few posts ago. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
