Then look at netgraph(4), ngctl(8), ng_hook(8). Note that ng_one2many is designed to give you the agregate bandwidth of several NICs -- not to provide resilient network connectivity. There is also an undocumented ng_fec module which does ethernet channel bonding using Cisco's Fast EtherChannel mechanism, but you'll have to use the source to work out how to use it. If you actually want resilience rather than bandwidth, then take a look at the net/freevrrpd port.
