'k, you are going through something similar to me, it seems ... have you 
implemented the stuff on:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-deadlocks.html

and:

enabled DDB within your kernel? (man ddb) ...

DDB is required for the deadlocks debugging ... also, is this a machine 
you have 'easy hands on' for? (ie. in my case, I'm dealing with remote 
servers, which is *really* fun) ...

Actually, what you will want to do is setup a serial console if you can, 
so that you can 'trap the output' of the commands that stuff like ps and 
all that will throw out from DDB, unless you *really* like to write?

I can help you get this all setup offlist if you wish, just email me and 
we'll work through the steps required ... once you have a debug 
environment in place, then generating a good/complete/in depth problem 
report is easier ...
