I keep thinking that this looks like a portable (non platform-dependent)
bootstrapping issue.

FWIW I run a combined (db+fs) server on 9.0 IA64. Haven't seen any of
these problems, and have been running on FreeBSD since 6.something. I've,
OTOH, got my cell running 6-7 years now, so have a lot of the
bootstrapping out of the way.

I do not, either, run the port, but am building manually. My ./configure: 

./configure \
        --enable-namei-fileserver \
        --enable-largefile-filserver \
        --disable-pam \
        --enable-supergroups \
        --with-krb5-config=/usr/heimdal/bin/krb5-config \
        --disable-kernel-module \
        --prefix=/usr/local/openafs161 \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var

What I did may or may not be relevant, but I'd just like to state two things: 

* The FreeBSD port is being actively used. Do we need some resources to 
facilitate 
  developement? (I'm thinking build slave) 

* The FreeBSD platform, having ZFS, is IMNSHO an excellent choice for a file 
server. 

How far ahead is the client code on FreeBSD?
