I enabled DDB in the kernel ("options DDB") in order to prevent the reboot and learned that the VirtualBox kernel module was causing the hold-up (I use VirtualBox very often, so I load the module at start-up). I'd forgotten to *rebuild the module after updating the kernel.* I feel foolish for having forgotten that---I've been using VirtualBox for years---but all is well now. Thanks for the pointers, and sorry for cluttering the list with such an inane issue. The quote in my signature seems fitting in this case.

Add others ports that install kernel modules as well. Space delimit multiple modules.

I usually do not rebuild port kernel modules until after a reboot in the new system, and this is the first time that there was a problem with that. A boot from mfsBSD and temporarily commenting out vboxdrv_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf was the workaround.
