Have you recently upgraded to OpenSSH3.4p1 via ports and also upgraded
OpenSSL(required by the openssh port)?  Maybe did this after installing
racoon?

Maybe try deleting racoon and reinstalling openssl... maybe even with
the overwrite_base option set to yes, be careful with it and read
/etc/default/make.conf.  After reinstalling openssl, recompile&install
racoon.  And try again.

I had a similar error in my raccon.log and recompiling racoon against
the latest openssl corrected it for me.  The equipment involved was a
freebsd box and a linksys box... so your milage may vary.

If you have a spare box, you might try establishing an ipsec between
your current freebsd box and the spare box(freebsd) just to confirm
raccon is behaving semi-properly and the problem really is the
interaction between the pix box and the fbsd box.

Good Luck,
 Greg
