--- Comment #5 from Mike Karels <karels@freebsd.org> ---
There is a documented way to broadcast using INADDR_BROADCAST (all ones), and
it explicitly specifies the outgoing interface.  See IP_SENDONES in ip(4).  In
short, you set the IP_SENDONES option, then send to the desired interface's
configured broadcast address (e.g. 192.168.122.255).
