The best (read: only) way to get a broadcom wifi chip running is to use an NDIS wrapper layer, as has been hinted. FreeBSD has a very complete NDIS wrapper layer available, and you can generate wrapped loadable driver modules for your kernel using the interactive ndisgen utility. Documentation for using ndis drivers can be found in the handbook, here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html#CONFIG-NETWORK-NDIS
