I first thought that maybe rogue or spurious packets on the network were causing Wake-on-LAN to activate, but 1) it's turned off in the BIOS 2) I don't think the card actually supports it 3) the machine turned on once with the network cable unplugged. I don't think it's either APM or ACPI causing it either since I have both disabled in FreeBSD and power management is turned off in the BIOS. I also don't know at this point if it's a FreeBSD issue or not since I only use the machine periodically for testing and haven't had any other OS on it long enough to trigger the automatic power-on. My friend has a few identical machines and also runs FreeBSD on them, but he leaves them on all the time so he's never seen the problem. Let me know if anything turns up!
