Thanks! hw.ix.unsupported_sfp=1 corrected the immediate problem. The network port that didn't come up does not yet have an SFP module installed It seems the default behavior in FreeBSD is to not have the interface available until a SFP is inserted. While a corner case, this does make configuration prior to installation a bit more annoying.
