Just as a datapoint, I'm seeing exactly the same thing: 

dumping to dev 18,9 offset 1538567
dump panic: kernel diagnostic assertion "c->c_magic == CALLOUT_MAGIC" failed: file "/u1/devel/current/src/sys/kern/kern_timeout.c", line 427

but this is on reasonably recent -current on i386 using one of these:

ahc1 at pci0 dev 10 function 0: Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter
ahc1: interrupting at irq 9
ahc1: aic7870: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs

(so whatever is causing this issue, I don't think it's limited to 
sparc64...  And I'll note that this system doesn't have 4GB or 
anything either (it's just a K6-2@350MHz w/ 128MB RAM :) ))

Later...
