Hmm.. I use the next sequence (on 8.x):

gpart create -s mbr ${device}
gpart add -b 63 -t freebsd ${device}
gpart create -s bsd ${device}s1
gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 1024m ${device}s1
[..more partitions there..]
gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 ${device}
gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot ${device}s1
gpart set -a active -i 1 ${device}
