I found this pr, which seems to be a likely candidate.  

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/55007

dccm is threaded, but libmilter does not call kqueue directly, but
based on other searches, I'm suspecting that various calls are
implemented using kqueue, kevent (select(), poll(), etc..).  I see
some evidence of this in the sources, but I'm not familiar enough
with the kernel code to say absolutely that these code paths are
executed.
