Tried on 2.4.4-p3. Set RAM Disk Size to 100 (enable swap) and perform sysctl debug.kdb.panic=1, /var/crash contains dump:
ls -lh /var/crash/ total 116 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2B May 14 18:26 bounds -rw------- 1 root wheel 519B May 14 18:26 info.0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6B May 14 18:26 info.last -> info.0 -rw------- 1 root wheel 105K May 14 18:26 textdump.tar.0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14B May 14 18:26 textdump.tar.last -> textdump.tar.0
