Hello.

What to do?
Can I reinstall somehow through the console?
Or can I fix it in some other way? -
I did a
pkg install -Rf isc-dhcp43-server-4.3.4
, and it created the user again, is that ok? Or did I something bad?

Your fix is probably the easiest solution, though it's tough to say what might have been wrong to start with. Power outage might have led to some filesystem corruption, some additional runs of fsck might have been a good idea before making more changes.
