Kernel panics on recent Macs running OS X tend to be most often (though not always) related to hardware, not software.
Have you installed any third-party (i.e. non-Apple) USB peripherals? You may want to try un-plugging them and see if that that clears things up. (A good, *powered*, USB hub can often fix this sort of problem.)
Have you installed third-party RAM? Using RAM that doesn't meet Apple's specs is also a frequent cause of kernel panics. If your kernel panics continue, you may want to uninstall all of the third-party RAM, leaving only the RAM that came with your Mac installed, and see if things get better. If they do, you should return your RAM for a replacement. Most RAM cards these days are covered by a lifetime warranty.
