Here’s an example of how this works, by the way:

$ sh find_hostapifs.sh
wlan1 is!
$ cat find_hostapifs.sh
. /etc/rc.subr
load_rc_config

. /etc/network.subr
for i in em0 wlan0 wlan1; do
        hostapif $i && echo "$i is!”
done
$ grep ^ifconfig /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_em0="inet W.X.Y.Z netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
ifconfig_wlan0="inet 127.0.0.2/8"
ifconfig_wlan1=“hostap”
$

It’s documented here:

                 On the other hand, if you want to configure your wireless
                 interface with hostapd(8), you need to add ``HOSTAP'' to the
                 ifconfig_<interface> variable.  hostapd(8) will use the
                 settings from /etc/hostapd-<interface>.conf
