Probably limited a small bit by structural strength, i.e. more acceleration means a stronger and heavier structure. For manned rockets, the G forces are even lower to accomodate the astronauts. So I'm assuming that even lower accelerations are only possible if you trade off fuel efficiency.
Like jet airplanes, space rockets work on a principle called action and reaction (another name for Newton's third law of motion). The massive force (action) generated by hot gases firing backward from a rocket's engines produces an equal force (reaction) that pushes the rocket forward through space.
