Or rather, was it safe? I mean… I probably should have asked before actually doing so… 😛
My understanding was that on FreeBSD systems, system stuff goes in /usr, while userland stuff goes into /usr/local.
The Mac still boots just fine and seems happy, but I'm getting excruciating difficulties reinstalling things using homebrew in the aftermath… hence my wondering… Was it actually safe, or am I heading for a complete OSX reinstall?

It's completely safe. The
/usr/localdirectory does not even exist on a clean Mac OSX install.
