Did you try mount -o rw / to remount your / (root) partition read write?
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.
