Out of curiosity, if you install sysutils/dmidecode from ports and 
run

dmidecode -t 41

does it help at all?

Some PC vendors have taken to doing odd things with their PCI layout
which produce unexpected results with device naming (so port 1 on the
back of the server is not the first interface in the OS) and introduced
DMI type 41 as a "fix"

e.g. see https://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/consistent_network_device_naming_in_linux.pdf
