No it doesn't.
The output is:

root at pick:~# du -s /var/hammer/usr/snap-*
0	/var/hammer/usr/snap-20100803-0302
0	/var/hammer/usr/snap-20100804-0307
. ..
0	/var/hammer/usr/snap-20100929-0301
0	/var/hammer/usr/snap-20100930-0301
0	/var/hammer/usr/snap-20101001-0301

Actually, I did not try snapshots or undos yet. 
I tried to figure out how much space is used in my pfs, thus, I did du -shL /pfs. I just repeated it and that was the cause of the messages. Just when it counted over a directory that I have exported over network (but do not do anymore) the dmesg-messages reappeared.
I also get output on the console:

du: var/hammer/var/snap-20100822-0301/hammer/var/snap-20100821-0301/hammer/var/snap-20100806-0301/hammer/var/snap-20100801-0301/hammer/var/snap-20100731-0301/hammer/var/snap-20100730-0301/hammer/usr/snap-20100727-0301/pkgsrc: No such file or directory

So it seems, that I was kind of "messing around with snapshots" as Matthew wrote, and it seems to be harmless so far. 
Nevertheless it looks strange, and like a loop that /var/hammer/ is snapshotted and its contents are and so forth. Maybe we should exclude the snapshot directory from being snapshotted?
