It's going to be for a production server and 6.1 is still under development
so I'd rather not at this time

I did however find out what caused the panic, it was my friend unionfs. I
had a unionfs mount setup for the system distfiles to mount over the
distfiles directory in one of my ports.

I did a simple test: mount_unionfs /tmp/dir1 /tmp/dir2
touch /tmp/dir2/file
mv /tmp/dir2/file /tmp/dir2/file1

The system immediately panicked with the exact same error...

I'll move on up to 6.1 when it's stable :)
