There is 11n support in net80211 in HEAD but no drivers to hookup.  
There may be support for using Atheros parts without tx aggregarion 
before the end of the year but that will require a fair amount of work.  
Operation with legacy tx rates should be usable now (according to 
reports) w/ the 0.9.30.3 hal at http://www.freebsd.org/~sam.

I expect good 11n support to come first for Marvell and Intel parts.
