No, you can force a default shell without modifications.
Check out login.conf(5) and shell variable.
However, the original post implies little FreeBSD experience.
Why do you want to automate such a procedure?

it finally creates your user account, you can then log in to the system.
Lonestar is using netBSD, we are going to use FreeBSD 6.1
Any info on how to accomplish this is greatly appreciated.

SSHD will not allow you to log in as root (for security reasons). There
may be a way to change it, but I don't reccomend it. Configure a user
account to be able to use the su command or install sudo, then log in
remotely as a user then su or sudo for administrative tasks.
