I should have mentioned that I do have DTrace sort of working on my
HEAD system (amd64), just strange terminal behavior now (CTRL-C
doesn't allow a running script to produce any output -- pkill dtrace
works however...).

I just found this, which seems to indicate that you may be on to something:

What does your kernel config look like? How about /etc/make.conf and
/etc/src.conf?

Maybe looking at the contents of these files will shed some light...
