There have been some points along the development path where an improper
network_interfaces line in /etc/rc.conf would cause lo0 not to be
configured (at least that I noticed).  I haven't checked this in a
while, so I don't know if current versions of rc.network have the
problem or not, but at one time:
network_interfaces="lo0 fxp0"
worked, while
network_interfaces="fxp0"
would not configure lo0.

Don't know if this is your problem or not, but it's something to look at.
