Solution 1: Try changing "ro" to "ro,noauto" and mount it later.
Solution 2: Instead, try adding "late" to the options, so that it will
not be mounted until later in the boot process, after /usr and other
normal filesystems are mounted. As you say the filesystem type was
added from ports, your problem might be that the OS is trying to mount
it before /usr is mounted, and the fs module is not available, although
that shouldn't generate a panic.
My 2 cents,
