If your concern is that you won't be able to log in to single-user mode,
consider that you will be prompted for a shell in any case (at least I
am).  If your concern is that you would like to have bash available in
single user mode as well, make sure it is statically linked.  If you will
be installing from ports, the following should work (if I'm reading the
Makefile correctly):

cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2
make -DWANT_STATIC_BASH install clean
