NetBSD will be solving the media selection problem shortly by adding BSD/OS-style if_media.[ch] to the network code. Jonathan Stone and I wrote this based on information provided by Matt. I plan on committing it to NetBSD-current in few days. If someone from the FreeBSD camp would like to get in touch with me about it, I'll be happy to help them integrate it into FreeBSD. Jason R.
