I'm seeing this all the time on my EPIA 5000 boards with RELENG_5.
It's nothing really serious, unless you're using NFS (like in many
diskless setups). If you get long NFS delays because of this, try
mounting using TCP. It should solve the problem.

If OTOH you don't notice any problems, you can ignore this message.
TCP would send or request the dropped packets fast enough in most
cases...
