Anything that works is better than anything that doesn't.

I am told that there are instructions in the handbook at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html
but I personally have not gotten it to work (though I only tried when
my laptop was panic-ing on boot. . .)
If your freeze truly is a panic, the trace should show up on the
serial console and illuminate what is going wrong.
