i have had the exact same thing when running portupgrade -ra on my freebsd 6.0 amd64, but nothing would help except to power reboot the computer. i tried pluggin in and out the usb keyboard, tried a ps2 keyboard. the only thing i couldnt try if i can connect to it still via ssh. if i couldnt, i would say the machine was frozen.
