I didn't use Mac. I've a FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE (amd64) + Ubuntu Linux
8.04 (development/amd64) network at my place.

How about doing host name resolution over mDNS using
avahi-resolve-host-name or similar utility in your Mac ? Also, start a
tcpdump on em0 at FreeBSD end, to see if it receives any mDNS request ?

It also works, when any Windows box running Bonjour service, joins the
network.
