You have no address on the loopback.

You should have:
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"   # default loopback device configuration.

in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/defaults/rc.conf

Add one of these, and reboot to make sure the problem doesn't recur.

You can manually do an ifconfig:
ifconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
