Well, first I'll need to repair the make utility... But I suppose I'll 
get it

I should have written it, so from memory (I reboot with windows, because 
my BSD was barely usable) it was something like :
unable to mount partitions as in /etc/fstab (and then, the choice of the 
shell)

not for the moment (but I don't think it would help, since it used to 
work as is before the upgrade).
The problem did not come from the fstab in my opinion, but from errors 
on the partitions, because I finally achieve to fsck, and now the system 
boot quite normally.
But the problems with the missing utilities still remain.

Honestly, what bother me is not the problem itself. I think I'll be able 
to manage it (yet, I would appreciate if someone would be able to tell 
me if  I should do everything again)
I'm more worried by the fact I really can't understand why my file 
system messed up without any dirty reboot, and why utilities suddently 
disappeared.

Thanks for your answer.
