As well as applying those patches to releng/9.2, and still seeing the
panic, I have upgraded one of the systems to stable/9 and still see the
panic.

I ruled this out.  I recompiled a kernel with no ipmi driver (so that
removes the watchdog timer too) but the system would still panic on
shutdown when stopping ntpd.

I have also reverted to the STABLE ntpd distribution (4.6.4p5
2011-12-24) and still see the panic.

I took one of the systems back to releng/9.1 (9.1-RELEASE-p7).  Its
kernel includes the ipmi driver, I am running watchdogd, I am running
ntpd, I have rebooted several times and have never seen a panic.

So, I now have one system on 9.1-RELEASE (panic-free); and the second
system on 9-STABLE (panics).  Previously I had both systems on
9.2-RELEASE and panicking.

Another common factor with all but one of the panics I have seen is that
the process which appears to trigger the panic is a 'realtime' process.

rwsrv08# top -b 200 | awk '(/^  PID/ || $5~/^r/)'
  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE   C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND
 1739 root          1 -52   r0 12056K  8040K nanslp  7   0:02  0.00% watchd=
ogd
 1911 root          1 -52  r0F 32668K 18468K select  7   0:02  0.00% ntpd

Here is a recent stable/9 tripping over watchdogd on shutdown:
