To remount the / as read-write, just
# mount -u /
after you've booted single user. You can then go and edit /etc/fstab as
normal.
Note that the only editor you'll have available is 'ed', which is not
particularly user friendly. You probably want to remount your /usr
partition by hand, to pick up vi and friends in /usr/bin. Something like
# mount /dev/wd0s2? /usr
where '?' is whatever partition you store /usr on.
