You "only" need to update your kernel not world :)

You can get the diff here ->
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bfe/if_bfe.c.diff?r1=1.5&r2=1.6

Save it then do..
cd /usr
patch <patchfile

Then rebuild your kernel if you have it statically compiled, or do..
cd /usr/src/sys/modules/bfe
make clean install

if you use modules.
