See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=bwn-firmware-kmod+&stype=all

You should have a directory under /usr/ports/net named bwn-firmware-kmod.
If you don't, then you need to update your ports skeleton.
You should also be able to just use a package, like:
pkg_fetch bwn-firmware-kmod

or with portupgrade -N bwn-firmware-kmod

HTH.
