If a shutdown from multi-user mode does a broadcast kill why wouldn't it do the same under single user mode?
The only way I'm aware of is to use init 0 (to halt the machine) or setup using /etc/inittab your own runlevel 6 which runs all the kill scripts (from highest to lowest), then as K00reboot just issue a shutdown -r now. This will process all scripts and then reboot.

BTW It shouldn't be noted that both "init s" and "shutdown now" do not bring the system to the same state as if you had of booted to single user mode. So that Nix's statement is wrong if you have gone from multi-user to single-user. The disks do not get unmounted.
