It's wrong - I should update it.
Of course, FreeBSD and Mac OS X are related, so this may be repeating what you said:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-init.html#BOOT-SINGLEUSER
Even Solaris (once a BSD-based O/S) has "run level S" which is also called single-user mode.

Need I mention OpenBSD (and NetBSD probably has it too)?
