Try to take a look at dhclient.conf(5) and dhclient(8) and set all interfaces to be configured with dhcp. I think it should be posible to configure default values so there is something to fall back on if a lease is not obtained. Note that dhclient is new in FBSD 6, this is also why you had to take down the other interface. The old dhclient would reset all dhcp configured interfaces, the new doesn't, which is quite neat because usually you would have the two interfaces connected to /different/ networks.
