It might be error-handling code and not the actual source of the problem.
Scrolling up the ktrace output a bit I find:

   165      1 python2.4 CALL  connect(3,0x839d428,0x1b)
   165      1 python2.4 NAMI  "/var/run/xend/xmlrpc.sock"
   165      1 python2.4 RET   connect -1 errno 2 No such file or directory

This looks more serious.  ps shows:

root     102  0.0  1.2 6672  3252 ?     I     1:37PM 0:00.00 /usr/pk    0  102 
1  5172  10  0 6672  3252 wait     I    ?     0:00.00 /usr/pkg/bin/python2.4 
/usr/pkg/sbin/xend start 
root     103  0.0  2.6 7072  6792 ?     Ia    1:37PM 0:03.95 /usr/pk    0  103 
102     0   2  0 7072  6792 netcon   Ia   ?     0:03.95 /usr/pkg/bin/python2.4 
/usr/pkg/sbin/xend start

And indeed there is no /var/run/xend/xmlrpc.sock, though there is in fact
a /var/run/xend.
