Solved it, now to refine....
I've located the source of the problem: IPCHAINS.
When I stop my firewalling on the Linux box local and remote DNS resolution are both fine.
My ipchains rules are as such (assuming that the IP address of my box is 123.123.123.123):
:input DENY
:forward DENY
:output ACCEPT
-A input -p icmp -j ACCEPT
# dns
-A input -d 123.123.123.123 53 -p udp -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 123.123.123.123 53 -p udp -j ACCEPT
-A input -d 123.123.123.123 53 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 123.123.123.123 53 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
# ssh
-A input -d 123.123.123.123 22 -p udp -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 123.123.123.123 22 -p udp -j ACCEPT
-A input -d 123.123.123.123 22 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
-A input -s 123.123.123.123 22 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
which in my mind would allow all ssh trafic (which it does) and all DNS traffic, regardless of whether it travelled over udp (usual) or tcp (rarely). The connection should also be allowed both ways, surely.
Can anyone spot any obvious mistakes? Thanks again.

LEARN ABOUT NETBSD
schedctl
SCHEDCTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SCHEDCTL(8)
NAME
schedctl -- control scheduling of processes and threads
SYNOPSIS
schedctl [-A cpus] [-C class] [-P pri] [-t lid] -p pid | command
DESCRIPTION
The schedctl command can be used to control the scheduling of processes and threads. It also returns information about the current schedul-
ing parameters of the process or thread. Only the super-user may change the scheduling parameters. schedctl can also be used to start a new
command using the specified parameters.
Available options:
-A cpus Set of the processors on which process or thread should run, that is, affinity. Processors are defined as numbers (starting from
zero) and separated by commas. A value of -1 is used to unset the affinity.
-C class Scheduling class (policy), one of:
SCHED_OTHER Time-sharing (TS) scheduling policy. The default policy in NetBSD.
SCHED_FIFO First in, first out (FIFO) scheduling policy.
SCHED_RR Round-robin scheduling policy.
-P pri Priority for the process or thread. Value should be in the range from SCHED_PRI_MIN (0) to SCHED_PRI_MAX (63). Setting of prior-
ity for the process or thread running at SCHED_OTHER policy is not allowed.
-p pid The target process which will be affected. If the process has more than one thread, all of them will be affected.
If -p is not given, a command to execute must be given on the command line.
-t lid Thread in the specified process. If specified, only this thread in the process will be affected. May only be specified if -p is
also given.
EXAMPLES
Show scheduling information about the process whose ID is ``123'':
# schedctl -p 123
Set the affinity to CPU 0 and CPU 1, policy to SCHED_RR, and priority to 63 for thread whose ID is ``1'' in process whose ID is ``123'':
# schedctl -p 123 -t 1 -A 0,1 -C SCHED_RR -P 63
Run the top(1) command with real-time priority:
# schedctl -C SCHED_FIFO top

The schedctl command first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
