I am not entirely sure if the module matches the card I have, but I use the sk 
driver for Marvell Gigabit LAN in FreeBSD. Make sure you have:

device          miibus
device          sk

in your kernel config (both are necessary), and rebuild the kernel according 
to the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html

You will need the source to do this, and if you don't already have it 
in /usr/src, then you can use /usr/ports/net/cvsup (which you should learn 
anyway, for this purpose and to use the ports collection), or you could 
use /stand/sysinstall to get the source from a CD or network location, 
although if you do that you should probably update it to the latest 
patchlevel of your release using cvsup when you get a chance.
