You have no address on the loopback.
You should have:
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.
in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/defaults/rc.conf
Add one of these, and reboot to make sure the problem doesn't recur.
You can manually do an ifconfig:
ifconfig lo0 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
