Yes, it's done by pressing Power as if to power off, then long-pressing on the Power Off? message, which should bring up the Safe Mode option. However, if you can't power off in the normal way, that option is so far as I know inaccessible.
Have you tried powering off by a simulated battery pull....holding Power and Volume Down until the device shuts down? You may then be able to boot into Recovery, although I'm not sure that the options in there would be of much help, apart from Factory Reset perhaps.
I'll pass this on to others for more suggestions.
