I'd really like to move past the duplex issues. I'm very very familiar with that and already chased my tail on that one here and in my many years of working at an ISP. I did a back-to-back test with speed/duplex locked and I get the same result. All the switch ports are running clean - no errors, which is something you'd normally see if autoneg failed.
Plus if you look at the matrix above, you can see that every other combination in my "normal" config works. If there were a duplex problem, I would be seeing it either from OS-X <-> OBSD or FBSD <-> OBSD. It also probably wouldn't allow me to get really fast UDP NFS between the boxes.
For fun I'm going to post a full tcpdump of an ftp session from one box to the other, maybe someone can spot something there? It's attached and bzip'd. It's a tcpdump of both hosts transferring a 1MB tarfile.
Thanks!

I also had a problem recently with my PB running OS X 10.3.8 and an OpenBSD 3.6 box - no duplex settings helped and TCP performance was very very poor, just getting a working ssh connection from mac -> openbsd took maybe 10mins, oddly UDP traffic worked as it was supposed to.
I didnt find the problem except that it worked OK once I replaced the NIC in the OpenBSD box with another one, think the original one was a very cheap lowend one and I replaced it with an old 3Com NIC and everything worked.
