I'm successfully using ECMP on 11.0-RELEASE firewalls, but in my case
they're also using OSPF with a pair of upstream MX480 routers via Quagga.
BIRD would be nicer to work with but the last time I checked it wasn't
playing nice with ECMP on FreeBSD. Regardless, if OSPF is an option you can
pursue that will definitely work.
