Go to /usr/share/syscons/keymaps, pick your current keyboard map, and create a new one, replacing all instances of `clock' with `lctrl' along the way. Then make it active with `kbdcontrol -l <mapname>'. You can even specify the keymap in /etc/rc.conf, and have it loaded upon reboot. -- Jonathan (who absolutely _hates_ caps lock.
