I tried it out with 1.8.0 cvs. 
I have no idea whether it works with 1.7.2 too. Maybe, the options are there.
This is the setup:
set minplayers 2
set aifill 8
set maxplayers 2
(The gane starts when two players join).

Hope this helps.

The log:
(I didn't set maxplayers at first, but it worked after I did.)

This is the server for Freeciv version 1.8.0
