This indicates trying to run an amd64 (64bit) kernel on an i386 (32bit)
processor. That's a synthetic processor inside VirtualBox, so unlike
the real world, it's quite cheap to switch from one to the other...
If you go to Settings :: General for your VM, did you choose OS as 'BSD'
and Version as 'FreeBSD 64' ?
I'm assuming the host you're running VirtualBox on is 64bit capable...
Recent versions of VirtualBox claim to be able to run a 64-bit VM on a
32-bit host if the host CPU is 64-bit and has hardware virtualization
support: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=33940
(search for "64-bit guest")
So far I've only seen guest kernel panics when booting the kernel on an
E8400 i386 FreeBSD host.
