If there isn't an "inet 127.0.0.1" entry following, the loopback isn't properly configured. Perhaps you have a "network_interfaces" entry listed in /etc/rc.conf which does not mention "lo0"...?
I think this entry should live in /etc/defaults/rc.conf

ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"   # default loopback device
                # configuration.

Thanks Uli, I checked based on your post, and it is there. Perhaps I have something running at startup that's breaking things? Looks like I'll be digging a little more to see what I can find.
