updating in single-user mode

When updating world, section 20.4.5 of the handbook calls for dropping
to single user mode. The reasons given for this make sense. But this
is a problem for me: my BSD server does not have a local K/V/M setup
connected directly to it; it sits on my network and I connect to it
via PuTTy for administration.
Is there a way to achieve single-user mode while still being able to
connect remotely (via LAN)? (I know that's something of an oximoron,
but I needed to ask) And if not, am I losing any serious
features/functionality of the update process by _not_ dropping into
single user?
Thanks,
~John
