Not a lot of options here as others have hinted.  But one thing that 
might help in the future is SoftUpdates+Snapshots.  See the online 
handbook Section 17.14:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/snapshots.html

You can take a daily snapshot, and if you accidentally delete a file... 
mount the snapshot, and recover it.

Just an idea.
