The NC7782 ist Broadcom based, quote:

Broadcom 5704 dual port silicon

so there is lots of hope that also the PCI ID is already present in the 
bge(4) driver. As the DL380 is one of the most often ordered 2U-box in 
the industry (at least thats what HP claims in marketspeak) there should 
have been already some complaints about that- I only have some DL380G3 
sitting around, where FBSD pre-4.10 worked like a charme...
