What I did on a 4.9 box (also works on 5.1)
in /boot/loader.conf-
if_ef_load="YES" #Loads pseudo-device ef (man(4) ef)
nwfs_load="YES" #Loads nwfs module
ncp_load="YES" #Loads NCP module
in kernel conf-
options IPX
in /etc/rc.conf-
ifconfig_rl0f1_ipx="ipx 0x71ad01b" #See Note below
ipxrouted_enable="YES"
#Note
#my setup is using rl device
#pseudo interface used (the rl0f1)
#is determined by frame type used
#on Novell server. see man(4) ef
