The machine crashed again, and this time I ran ps in ddb.  It shows 
pfctl running on one CPU, and the incoming packet being handled by 
another:

db> ps
  pid  ppid  pgrp   uid   state   wmesg         wchan        cmd
99941 99922 99920     0  R       CPU 3                       pfctl
...
100028                   Run     CPU 0                       [irq256: 
bce0]
...

The backtrace was the same as the last one.

I guess this means that disabling SMP would fix the problem as a quick 
workaround, but there's probably something wrong with the locking when 
updating the tables.
