Forcing it to be remounted read-only may help in such cases.

wopr:~# mount -u -o ro -f /
wopr:~# mount
/dev/da0s1a on / (ufs, local, read-only)
/dev/da0s1f on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/da0s1e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
mfs:20 on /tmp (mfs, asynchronous, local, nosuid)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
