It's supported by the the xl driver in 4.1.1-STABLE:

eve# uname -r
4.1.1-STABLE
eve# dmesg | grep xl
xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xe800-0xe87f mem 0xeb000000-0xeb00007f irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci0
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:50:04:84:ac:f1
miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0
xlphy0: <3Com internal media interface> on miibus0
xlphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

And no, I'm not recommending this as a high performance NIC. It
replaced an old ISA NIC in a test machine; the primary quality I was
lookin for after working on FreeBSD was cost; I paid $12 for the card.
