You simply set the ssid in your rc.conf lines that control the wi device 
setup. Mine looks something like:

ifconfig_wi0="inet 192.168.0.140 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid my_net"
ifconfig_wi0_alias0="inet 192.168.0.131 netmask 255.255.255.255"


The top line configures the wi interface, and the second is just an 
alias I threw in as a bonus. Anyways, you can `man ifconfig` to see how 
to control wi settings. Might also see wicontrol while your at it. ;)
