In any case, when panic occurs, switching display to the tty can be
great. Why not a sysctl like kern.tty_on_panic? Because when you're
running X and a panic occurs not everybody understand what happens.

Putting the following in /etc/sysctl.conf can help:

debug.debugger_on_panic=0

The reason being that sometimes when you panic in X the system is attempting to drop to the debugger, but can't, which is why it hangs.
