sorry for replying to myself, but I thought I'd add another data point. 
With ATAPI DMA disabled (I've had this enabled for ages), I get a 
slightly different error messages followed by a kernel panic:

acpi_cpu: throtteling enabled, 8 steps (100% to 12.5%), currently 100%
ad0: 190782MB <WDC WD2000JB-32EVA0> [387621/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100

acd0: unknown transfer phase
acd0: timeout waiting for ATAPI ready

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

The panic is in camisr():

camisr
ithread_loop
fork_exit
fork_trampoline

Hope this means something to someone.

(A second reboot just after the panic did not cause another panic, but 
resulted again in a hang.)
