This looks very much like an auto-negotiation problem. Can you check
ifconfig dc0? 

To have collisions, it must be running half-duplex. (By definition
collision detection is disabled in FDX.) The additional errors further
support this.

The other question is what the other end of this link sees. Is it
running full or half duplex? If full duplex, is it seeing input errors?

If the far end is running FDX, can you set this end explicitly to FDX?
