I would recommend to add the following options to the kernel config:
options         STACK
options         DDB
options         DDB_NUMSYM
options         KDB
options         KDB_TRACE
options         KDB_UNATTENDED
(if you don't have any of them already).

That should add some useful information to the panic messages.
Please try to capture the first panic report before any secondary panics cloud the
situation.

And I agree with Alexander that the panics and the hangs could be unrelated.
