Good on all counts. The driver for the 3c509 isn't the world's best at the moment, though; hopefully this will change in the near future. > Now for the question. How do I get all this?

Is there such a pre-packaged version? Not really; the system is very expansive and componentalized. The best thing for a non-netted machine would be to buy the FreeBSD CDROM from Walnut Creek CDROM, http://www.cdrom.com/. Or use a netted machine and build a floppy set.
