Yes it's keyed correctly for the PCI-X bus but It turns out that
Creative changed the chipset to Audigy LS and it's not %100 compatible
with EMU10k1/3, I have major doubts that FreeBSD supports this
chipset:

Talk to hal because he did buy one. He posted a message saying that he
was having trouble with it. I answered it telling him to put
snd_driver_load="YES" into loader.conf but he never replied back to
say if it worked or not.

I just compiled a list, based on the photos, of sound cards, on
newegg.com, that are keyed for PCI-X and PCI 32-bit / 66Mhz buses, I
make no guaranties!!:
