Firstly, A port will not reboot the system to install the port. The port may ask you to reboot in its pkg-message displayed at the end of an install, but it will not do a reboot. If a system reboots while building a port, you have memory (or other hardware) issues. Page faults in known-good code also point to hardware issues.
Get a copy of memtest-86+ and run it for a few hours. (24 hours is considered a reasonable test!)
Installing the fuse-ntfs port could not damage your system. A kernel panic while attempting to use it could, perhaps; The solution would be start the system in single-user mode (or boot from a live cd) and remove the fuse entry from /boot/loader.conf
But this sounds more like hardware than anything else.
