Do like I do and rename the interfaces in /etc/rc.early

$ cat /etc/rc.early
/sbin/ifconfig fxp0 name admin
/sbin/ifconfig em0 name external
/sbin/ifconfig em1 name internal

Then, just use those names everywhere (/etc/rc.conf, /etc/pf.conf, etc..)

Interface renaming makes your life much much easier.
