This is why all unix books state, you shall not work as root ;)

You can recover your system, by following system rescue manual available 
on the net and boot via cd in to recover shell mode, mounting your 
disks, and running mtree with the data files in /etc/mtree over your system.

Read the manpage to mtree on freebsd.org before

Good luck

Steven
