I hate to be boring (since I already suggested the use of
sysutils/testdisk), but it would be really helpful to give it a try.
Please read this success story (5 mails):

  http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-December/164901.html

Among others things, it contains some notes on how to use packages that
are not included in rescue CD and how to recalculate your bsdlabel
offsets and other parametres. And yes, with or without GELI your swap
will appear just as a hole between "normal" partitions so its
dimensions are probably the last thing you will reconstruct.
