How much memory does this system have, and do you have a swap dataset (zfs) or raw partition configured? My guess would be that you could be running out of memory (pkg is a beast in this regard, might take around a gig of ram to map all packages and their known versions), and with too little free ram for too long a system panic may happen, apparently to clear the faulty condition.

Also, is the CPU 64-bit capable?

HTH, Jim
