Did you  try SSH or telnetting in from another box, to see if the
kbd/mouse is hung or the entire system was hung?

I had a 3.x-STABLE system which seemed to flake out and lock me out of
the keyboard and mouse. It only seemed to appear if I had a bunch of X
window sessions going. I can't remember if I could exit X11 with
ALT-CTL-Backspace (dumping all my sessions) or if I had to do
ALT-CTL-DEL, or only the BRB would work.

Haven't seen the problem since I moved to 4.0-STABLE.
