Polling and SMP is only a recent thing, as is polling support for the 
bge. I would try disabling that.  In terms of seeing why its crashing,

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html

Basically,
make sure


makeoptions     DEBUG=-g                #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols

is in your kernel config
add
dumpdev="/dev/da0s1b"           # Device name to crashdump to (or NO).
dumpdir="/var/crash"    # Directory where crash dumps are to be stored

to /etc/rc.conf assuming da0s1b is your swap.  Install the new kernel 
and reboot.

When and if it crashes again,
gdb -k kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.0

type bt full

from the debugger and post the results.
