I've been running into similar sorts of deadlocks on my diskless crash
boxes, and have dropped some information to Don on them.  Try the
following also from ddb: 

print numvnodes
print desiredvnodes
print vnlruproc_sig
print vnlru_nowhere

This will print some information on the number of active vnodes; one of
the characteristics of my nfs client/server box in its deadlocked state is
that it has exceeded the maximum number of vnodes, presumably by
necessity.
