What compile-options do you have in /etc/make.conf? Doing php I guess
it's a web-server, what other apps are running on the server? Is the
server located in a location with adequate cooling?

May not apply any longer, but during the 5.1-days Scott Long advised
me to add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf:

echo vm.kmem_size=3D"450000000" >> /boot/loader.conf
echo kern.maxvnodes=3D"200000" >> /boot/loader.conf

That prevented my webservers from rebooting without any apparent
reason. Too many temp-files was the cause. Try purging temp-files more
often if the above lines do help.
