Do you need x11-drivers/xf86-video-radeonhd-devel? (Re: How about AMD Puma platform support?)

Interesting, I have the same (card/chip) and same problem:

(--) PCI:*(2:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] rev 0, Mem @ 0xd0000000/27, 0xdfff0000/16, I/O @ 0xe800/8, BIOS @ 0xdffc0000/17
(--) PCI: (2:0:1) ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE] rev 0, Mem @ 0xdffe0000/16

in my -STABLE box which is also plagued by these spurious freezes.
They always happen when logging out or quitting the window manager.
Yesterday the mouse pointer movd but very slowly.  The Xorg process
using 100% on one CPU and unkillable.  In the past, it's locked up
the machine entirely, but this time everything else was working.
I still had to power cycle it to reboot though.

I'll try to get a ktrace next time it happens.
