... this is what I have:

     em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection> mem 
0xdf200000-0xdf21ffff at device 31.6 on pci0

... and it has been working for years.

According to your compatibility list at https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.2R/hardware.html#ethernet, there are five (5) different Intel PRO/1000 MT NIC's listed. However, the 2 we are looking for are not on the list. Since the list is more than a year old, I'm wondering if there has been any additional testing to verify compatibility of these NIC's or if you can tell me if FreeBSD will support the use of these NIC's. I've included the two (2) we are using listed below.
