No, this isn't possible with FreeBSD. Sam Leffler, one of the authors of
802.11 code in FreeBSD, has plans to do that though. It may be part of
7.0 and probably will be available as a patch for 6.X. You can read the
slides from his presentation about the future of 802.11 on
http://www.freebsd.org/~sam/BSDCan2005.pdf .
