The /var partition on this 6.1-STABLE box was always mounting dirty,
until I realised that its fstab entry had its Pass# field set to 0:

/dev/ad0s4e             /var            ufs     rw              0       0

If you run fsck ("fsck -n" is sufficient) without specifying a file
system so that it reads the list of which file systems to check from
fstab, does it check all those with a non-zero Pass#?
