If you don't want the interface configured when it is created, don't
put a variable for it in rc.conf or add the NOAUTO keyword to the
ifconfig_<if> variable.

In some configurations you may be able to disable devd, but the
supported configuration requires that you run it.  In particular you
can't configure an interface to use DHCP without it.  The long term goal
is to eliminate the distinction between arrival of dynamically created
or attached interfaces and boot.  The idea is that boot time is just the
arrival of a whole lot of devices.
