What were you doing around the time of the panic?  In general, it
indicates that there is too little mbuf space configured for your
kernel, but you have to be pounding the machine pretty hard for it
to show up.

This isn't very up-to-date, but i don't _think_ there have been
serious changes to if_ed lately...

you could do something like:
options		"NMBCLUSTERS=512"
in your kernel config file.  NMBCLUSTERS is the paramter that
makes the difference here.  normally (unless 'options GATEWAY'
is in use) it's set to 256.
