The only custom pkg periodic script is
/usr/local/etc/periodic/daily/111.clean-squirrelmail and that is
disabled.

dhcp is not enabled on this host.  All addresses are static.

This happened at precisely 09:12:51 which does not seem to me to be a
'cron'ish time.

# stat resolv.conf*
2838222034 189421 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4294967295 46 "Jul 11
12:05:07 2018" "Dec 28 09:12:51 2018" "Dec 28 09:35:54 2018" "Jul 11
12:05:07 2018" 4096 1 0x800 resolv.conf_empty_problem

I am baffled by this and there seems to have been no other activity on
that host at that time.
