And multi-port versions are quite cheap too.

Even easier Dept.:

In /etc/rc.conf set:
ifconfig_xl0="inet X.X.X.X media 10baseT/UTP mediaopts half-duplex"

(or whatever options you want).

Looks like this won't work with DHCP configuration, in which case you just put 
the ifconfig command (with the appropriate media args) in 
"/etc/start_if.${ifn}", e.g. '/etc/start_if.xl0'

Leastways, this looks like it'd work on 4-5RC.

Cheers,

AS
