Can't think of a reason why.
Some may say that when you go into single user mode, having the
non-default root shell will cause a problem; but FreeBSD will prompt
you for which shell to use when you go to single-user mode (in
which case I'd go with the default /bin/sh).
So, use what ever shell you want to for root. I do.
