Sort of...

Thanks for everybody that has helped me!

It turns out I had a couple of rc.d scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d  
that were doing kldloads: rtc.sh and kqemu.sh - one of these was  
causing the panic. It might be worthwhile adding to the world rebuild  
doc a suggestion to grep kldload /usr/local/etc/rc.d and disable/ 
remove these services... Or, simply moving /usr/local/etc/rc.d might  
also be worthwhile test.

I guess the trick here was not considering that user space apps would  
be trying to do a kldload, and that calling upon a module that is  
either missing in /boot/kernel or /boot/modules or resides outside  
of /boot can trigger these panics.

Always the most simple of solutions that kicks you in the ass, isn't  
it? =)
