I just solved a problem very similar to yours on one of my machines. It
turned out to be a broken DIMM. The machine had 384 Mb of RAM and broke on
compilations all the time (any ports, kernel or world) with strange
compiler errors, like unknown 386 instructions, internal compiler errors,
assembler errors and source code syntax errors.
I took out all three 128 Mb DIMMS, put them back one at a time and soon
found the problem. I replaced the faulty DIMM and the machine is running
smoothly again. I Stresstested it by doing several make -j 36 buildworld's.

It has probably nothing to do with your version of FreeBSD, although
differences in memory organization might have some influence on the
symptoms. Incidentally, the machine I had problems with was also running
4.0-current.
