 This doesn't seem to be a problem with the current release:
 
 {setantae@rhadamanth}-{~} $ uname -sr
 FreeBSD 4.7-RC
 {setantae@rhadamanth}-{~} $ passwd -u root
 passwd: illegal option -- u
 usage: passwd [-l] [-y] [-o] [-d domain [-h host]] [user]
 {setantae@rhadamanth}-{~} $ su
 Password:
 {root@rhadamanth}-{/home/setantae} # passwd -u root
 passwd: illegal option -- u
 usage: passwd [-l] [-y] [-o] [-d domain [-h host]] [user]
 
 Could you try updating and see if this fixes the problem ?
