Terrorists don't own missiles, probably never will. NMD is just donald rumsfled's folly.
But a determined terrorist could buy a nuclear warhead from the likes of north Korea and as 2wolves said, just put it on an old freighter. (I never thought of that angle.)
Even easier, just send it via UPS.

Consider for a moment the population densities around coasts, you don't even need a port, or up a major river: New York, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Augusta GA (nuc plant there already), Boston. All of Hawaii. Or just sit in your ship and set off a very dirty bomb and allow prevailing winds to carry the message.
As for buying a bomb one could probably be found in or around a former Soviet vassal state.
