Sorry instead of getting a core dump I grabbed a FreeBSD AMD64 beta4 6.0 
ISO and put it on this server.
But I do have some good news in what I found.
Recompiled FAST_IPSEC into the kernel and rebooted it, it came up fine..
So then put in some ipsec security policies into /etc/ipsec.conf
ipsec_enable="YES"
and ran /etc/rc.d/ipsec start
and it ran fine.
I then installed ipsec-tools and loaded up the racoon daemon this also 
triggers a panic on my FreeBSD AMD64 6.0 laptop with out FAST_IPSEC 
being compiled into the kernel and its loaded up fine.
This looks all completely solid. I haven't been able to panic the server 
with a full VPN configuration activated.
The only thing I haven't done is tested if the IPSEC VPN actually can work.

This is no mistake this is AMD64 kernel FreeBSD with FAST_IPSEC I just 
cheated using the Intel EMT64
