I have found that too. I did most of my testing over ssh, until I setup
a serial login console (boot -h, and appropriate line in /etc/ttys) , so
I could see any messages that I might be missing... and I could not
reproduce the hang. Suspended without any problem at all. Tried booting 
with the -h and I could reproduce the hang every time.

Recompiled the kernel with:
options SC_NO_SUSPEND_VTYSWITCH

and now it all works!

I added to rc.suspend:

xset -display :0 dpms force off
sleep 3
sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=0
sleep 1
sysctl hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_state=1

and to rc.resume:

sysctl hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_state=8
xset -display :0 dpms force on
sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=1

The order of DPMS and ACPI is important. This works on both the console
and in X. Next up is to add in ataidle...
