 I've create 5 patches to address this problem and sent them upstream.
 Here's the first patch email:
 http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2009-May/019815.html
 The other 4 follow that one.
 
 Then you can do this
 
 wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -m "*"
 
 And wpa_supplicant will attempt to start wireless via driver_bsd on each
 interface.
 
 We could then supply a default /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and modify
 defaults/rc.conf accordingly so that the only user configuration is
 setting wpa_supplicant=YES in rc.conf to connect to unsecured APs by
 default.
 
 When/if they are merged upstream I'll probably merge a wpa_supplicant
 snapshot into -current to address this.
 
 Thanks
