In the last paragraph of our description of PXE booting FreeBSD:

   http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/FreeBSD-diskless.html

we report that "gpxelinux did not work for us. (It hangs once a menu item 
is selected, or if more than one choice is available)." Have you tried and 
gotten better/worse/similar results? Our trial was about a year ago, it 
would be worth trying again.
