there are several possibilities:
1/ do a ktrace on teh spinning process for a couple of seconds and see
what syscalls it is doing.

2/ if it's spinning in the kernel, you can drop into ddb
and do a 
tr <pid> 
to see where it is in the kernel...
c to continue..
do this several times to ge a sortof 'profile' of where you see it..
