Broadcom driver for OpenBSD was developed in spite of fierce opposition by Broadcom which publicly stated on many occasions that they want their customers to run only Windows. NetBSD has the driver for Broadcom devices. I think though that it is only OpenBSD driver ported to NetBSD so should not support more devices.
There is FreeBSD port of the same driver circulated among developers but nobody have committed it yet to kernel. Most Broadcom devices also require firmware.

You only chance is to try ndis utility in FreeBSD and generate the FreeBSD driver form the Windows driver (YMMW). Other than that I would ditch Broadcom since they obviously do not want us as customers.
