Thanks for your offer of help, Jahan. I solved my problem. The directory /usr/bin/ was gone. I think what happened was that I used the portupgrade command and portupgrade behaved "unpredictably" -- my ports environment is in a non-standard location.
I backed up /etc/* and reinstalled all the system binaries using the installation disc. Ugly mess. But I'm running again.
