Assuming that I understand what you are asking, I believe that in FreeBSD they 
call it netgraph - "man ng_one2many" should give you the info you need.  I had a 
friend who tried it out, and it seems to be completely compatible with the port 
bonding that Linux provides.  (He also felt that the documentation for FreeBSD 
netgraph was better than the documentation that came with Linux port bonding, in 
particular the FreeBSD docs were better at explaining how it worked.)
