Physical security is the one of the most over looked security issues. If someone has physical access to a machine, stopping him from rebooting with cntrl+alt+del wont do squat.. He can always flip the reset button, or unplug the cable. So I dont think disabling cntrl+alt+del is relevant in security. Therefor, its not a freebsd-security question. Imho, that is.
