It seems good to me.

No. IIRC, it indicates the card has no auto media selection,
e.g. AUI and UTP.

It'd be as below.  Note the "netmask" keyword.

ifconfig inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

I don't know if the card is supported, but some info about
supported ethernet card is in the NetBSD/mac68k Ethernet
Status page in the MacBSD docs page.

Cayman's Gatorcard PDS for SE/30 is listed there, so I think 
your card would work.
