As root: ~#cp /usr/bin/lsof . So you can run this command with /usr/ unmounted. Run the /etc/rc0.d scripts manually in order K** before S** giving each the parameter Stop. Just before running S40umountfs, type ~#./lsof and see what files are still open. Then run S40umountfs and watch. If there is an error again as you describe, ~#./lsof To see what is still open. The result may provide some clew. If /var/ won't unmount, before continuing with the shutdown process: ~#umount -r /var This may work to remount /var in read-only.
