No, you can do this with gpart.

gpart knows the following MS related GUIDs. The types you need
to use in -t are ms-basic-data, ms-ldm-data etc.

I don't know which partition types you should use for the
wanted partitioning scheme.

The struct that defines the known gpart GUIDs is in
/sys/geom/part/g_part.c at line 69(on HEAD).
