OK, you may need to set up hwpmc or LOCK_PROFILING to figure out what
your system is doing at that moment.
While experimenting with pmcstat I found that my problem seems to be
mouse-related. I did several tests - booted, logged in with xdm, started
an xterm and left 'pmcstat -S instructions' running in xterm to see
where it freezes.
As long as I don't touch the mouse, pmcstat output keeps scrolling by at
high speed. I can wait several minutes and it just keeps scrolling. But
when I start moving the mouse, soon (probably 10-20 cm of mouse
movement, but I haven't done any real measurements ;) ) there is this
"hiccup". As I said earlier, this happens only once during the session.
The same test can be done outside X, on the text console, and the
behaviour is identical. I tried with two generic 2-buttons-and-a-wheel
PS/2 mice and the results are identical. I don't have any USB mice at
hand immediately.
# grep mouse /etc/rc.conf:
moused_enable="YES"
# grep psm /var/run/dmesg.boot
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3
At that point it seems that faulty hardware can't be ruled out (dying
mouse port on the motherboard?). But it seems a bit strange that the
problem appears exactly once during the session. I'll try with USB mouse
tomorrow.

There was another report of problems with psm. Can you try with
sysmouse instead? If that works around the issue then we can
investigate psm further.
