sio2 (COM3) isn't configured in the boot floppy because of conflicts with

Yuck.  Can you hard wire this by setting some jumpers?  Does your BIOS
support Plug&Pray directly, and could you use that to move the modem to
known parameters?

FreeBSD doesn't understand Plug&Pray, so it's up to the modem or your BIOS
to configure it.
