It can't.  Put

set machdep.pccard.pcic_irq=<value>

in /boot/loader.rc

My current philosophy leans towards separating code (the kernel) and 
data (the IRQ value).  If you desperately wanted to be able to compile 
in a default, I would probably look the other way.  (Note that you've 
argued against using a compile-time option for this previously...)
