No, the driver is compiled into the kernel:
root at kg-vm# ifconfig re0
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
	inet 10.1.150.15 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 10.1.255.255
	ether 00:1d:60:2c:80:f0
	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
	status: active
