There are some known problems in httpd with fastcgi.

This should get you coredumps:

sysctl kern.nosuidcoredump=2
mkdir /var/crash/httpd

or run it under gdb and poke around after a crash

pkg_add gdb
egdb /usr/sbin/httpd
set args -vd
run

Either way you'll probably wany to rebuild it with DEBUG=-g to get debug
symbols.
