Ok, so you [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE]-ed Xwindow. If possible, can you try a
ssh from another system ?

If the system is still responding, you should see it quite immediately.

BTW, I had a problem not really dissimilar, except it didn't "black out"
the screen. I had to upgrade Xfree from the provided version of
FreeBSD/Alpha 5.2.1 to the latest found on Xfree.org
