The problem that prompted my original question was that init had stalled
during local package initialization and I couldn't use my console. I
thought the problem was with getty not opening the terminals, but when I
noticed that it stalled while running the mysql-server.sh script I recalled
that I had been trying to upgrade mysql before the machine rebooted itself.
Evidently the mangled incomplete installation of mysql-server was the real
problem. I ran portupgrade -Rr mysqlserver, this time it completed, the
system ran 'init' again and now everything is working.

Thanks to everybody who offered help. I'll try to remember what I learned
this time -- what you're looking for is always in the last place you look.
