So I tried adding the lines into crontab:
@reboot root    /sbin/kldload /boot/kernel/if_ndis.ko >/dev/null 2>&1
@reboot root    /sbin/kldload /boot/modules/bcmwl5_sys.ko >/dev/null 2>&1

Firstly, for some reason, this method fails to load bcmwl5_sys.ko with 
the error message:
KLD bcmwl5_sys.ko: depends on ndis - not available or version mismatch

However, command 'kldload /boot/modules/bcmwl5_sys.ko' typed manually 
after boot succeeds without any messages. This is a mystery to me, why 
one way to run it produces this message and another one doesn't.

And '/etc/rc.d/netif start' still doesn't start wifi even though all 
kernel modules were loaded after kernel boot.
