In such cases, MBR+bsdlabel is already the default. GPT works on all x86 systems back to a 386 and using MBR+bsdlabel only introduces limitations (e.g. maximum disk size, maximum number of partitions) with no benefits relative to GPT. Since in the one and only case where MBR partitioning is useful (dual-booting with Windows), it is already the default (as it also is if the disk is already MBR-formatted), and since it is otherwise easy to set up using the GUI if you really want it, I'm closing this PR. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=161931
