If you where using portmaster to update/upgrade your ports this should not affect root's csh or csh at all, though. Also when you have remounted your / partition read write in single user mode you can use vipw to make sure root's shell is /bin/csh or change this if it's not the case. What error do you get, when you try to login as root in multi user mode? A websearch on recover freebsd root password might help also Good luck.
