I'm currently new to FreeBSD, "YES another diehard linux guy converted!", as a OS but on the linux operating system I came into a few times were I had a corrupted swap partition. I would simply turn swapping off, remake the swap, and turn it back on.... But I have no idea on how to do that for FreeBSD at this time... :) Regardless I would certainly look into your swap partition as the source of your problems.
