I have several panics also i am using cvsup-mirror on a zfs raidz2.
It did run good for quite some time, but last week after a buildworld it started to panic as soon as /usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh was running.
I had vm.kmem_size="512M" and vm.kmem_size_max="512M".
I had a custom kernel with some options added and some taken off.
The box is a HP Proliant 110 with 1GB memory and is running the amd64 version of FreeBSD.  

My custom kernel had the following.

# Debugging for use in -current
nooptions   KDB         # Enable kernel debugger support.
nooptions   DDB         # Support DDB.
nooptions   GDB         # Support remote GDB.
nooptions   INVARIANTS      # Enable calls of extra sanity checking
nooptions   INVARIANT_SUPPORT   # Extra sanity checks of internal structures, required by INVARIANTS
nooptions   WITNESS         # Enable checks to detect deadlocks and cycles
nooptions   WITNESS_SKIPSPIN    # Don't run witness on spinlocks for speed

#polling
options     DEVICE_POLLING

# pf
options     ALTQ
options     ALTQ_CBQ
options     ALTQ_RED
options     ALTQ_RIO
options     ALTQ_HFSC
options     ALTQ_CDNR
options     ALTQ_PRIQ
device      pf
device      pflog
device      pfsync

I did a new buildworld with a GENERIC kernel with pf part still there. But now i can not panic it again.
So maybe it is the options     DEVICE_POLLING option.

i will try to add that again to the kernel and try to panic it again.
Do you have the DEVICE_POLLING option in your kernel?

BTW i am no FreeBSD or debug expert.
This is just an observation.
