Yes indeed. I have used the /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ether.bridge,
copied it to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ether.bridge.sh and made this change:

-BRIDGE_IFACES="de0 fxp0 fxp1"
-LOCAL_IFACES="fxp0 fxp1"
+BRIDGE_IFACES="xl0 xl2"
+LOCAL_IFACES="xl0 xl2"

I am guessing that this problem might be related to 3. below.

the ether.bridge script has a "stats" option that provides no data when
run on BETA3, it does ngctl msg bnet0: getstats 0 (then 1 then 2 ...)

Probably related to 1.
