I find it highly unlikely that there is a FreeBSD (or Linux for that 
matter) driver for any broadcom wireless chips. The best (read: only) 
way to get a broadcom wifi chip running is to use an NDIS wrapper layer, 
as has been hinted. FreeBSD has a very complete NDIS wrapper layer 
available, and you can generate wrapped loadable driver modules for your 
kernel using the interactive ndisgen utility.

Documentation for using ndis drivers can be found in the handbook, here:
