You need to use the FreeBSD kernel feature called 'scsi device wiring'.
It's described in /sys/conf/NOTES.  As an example (assuming you're
talking about FreeBSD 5.x/6.0 here):

device ahc
device sym

hint.scbus.0.at="ahc0"
hint.da.0.at="scbus0"
hint.da.0.target="0"
hint.da.0.unit="0"

This ensures that the logical bus 'scbus0' is associated with
the first ahc controller found, and that da0 is associated with
target,lun 0,0 on scbus0.

The wiring syntax works both compiled into the kernel via the
normal kernel config file, or by inserting it into /boot/device.hints.
