You can do the following:

ifconfig_bge0="inet xxx netmask yyy media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
ifconfig_bge1="inet xxx netmask yyy media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"

See the bge(4) manpage for additional details.

Also, which particular Broadcom chip are you using?  dmesg(8) should
show this, or pciconf -l -v.
