Having tried some different search terms in the list archives I've found 
this:
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-ppc/2005-October/001372.html
same problem, similar hardware.  I wonder whether there's any more 
progress come out of that?  I can't get a backtrace from the hang - 
partly through not knowing how kdb works but also because the keyboard 
seems unresponsive at the db> prompt.

Cheers,

Graham.
