Now I followed your advise and found out the following (source from some hours 
ago, 4BSD scheduler, and the acpidump went away to you by private mail)
The panic only occurs if the nvidia.ko module is was loaded.
I use it straight from the ports.
But your sysctl tweak keeps the whole thing working (I'm writing with kmail)!

Hope this helps (anyway, this driver is absolutle mandatory for my 
workstation!)
