I have a private patch that's based on radix_mpath for FreeBSD 5.4.
I believe andre@freebsd.org is working on a solution.

Subject: RE: Multiple routes to same destination?
Well, in that case, an ISP wouldn't want to use FreeBSD in their core routers :( :(
In this particular case, I have redundant links (L1 and L2) between two locations
(Loc 1 and Loc 2) with two FreeBSD routers at each location (R1/R2, and R3/R4)
which are running OSPF to redistribute routing information between locations.
Since FreeBSD limits the entries for a particular network to only one active entry,
the all the traffic for would either go on R1->L1->R4 or R2->L2->R3, but not both.
Loc 1___ /---R1--L1--R4---\___ Loc 2
\---R2--L2--R3---/
