Looks like one of your packages is hanging ; try

ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d

the first in the list that's executable is probably the b0rken one.
Hang on, maybe I can save you the trouble:
------------8<---------------
rasputin@shikima$ cat crystal_ball
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Psi::ESP;
print divine();

rasputin@shikima$ ./crystal_ball
I see a man with a big nose, feathers in his hair. He holds a padlock.
He stands motionless, as though waiting for something...

There you go, clear as day. Apache-modssl has been configured with a
passphrase for it's private key, and so is hanging around waiting for root
to type it in.

Do I win a coconut?
