My answer doesn't have anything to do with your specific problem, but I'd 
recommend to upgrade to FreeBSD 5.x, instead of 4.x. The reason is problems 
in the threads-implementation of 4.x, which caused problems on our setup. 
Tables used to crash frequently (notably index_phash and the like). You 
shouldn't be worried about it if you have a very low-traffic website, but on 
our site with 500-1000 queries/sec it crashed about once a day (approx 10000 
pages, 20000 content elements).
After upgrading to FreeBSD 5.x, these problems were gone!

HTH,
Martin
