Do you mean disable it completely, or do you need to run some network
apps and then disable it?

To disable an interface completely put something like this in rc.conf:
--
ifconfig_<interface>="down"
--
or just leave it out altogeather.

Otherwise you will probably have to have your script do it's thing and
then disable the network, with "ifconfig <interface> down".
