Thank you for the pointer!
Code:
re0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Realtek 8101E" rev 0x05: unknown ASIC (0x4080), apic 4 int 16 (irq 11), address 00:00:00:00:00:00
ukphy0 at re0 phy 7: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface, rev. 2: OUI 0x000732, model 0x0008
Note that your PHY driver is ukphy(4), "generic/unknown IEEE 802.3u Ethernet PHY" -- and this is due to the unknown chip used by the Realtek NIC.

I found a short thread on the misc@ mailing list with a similar message, from 2007, which did not have any resolution noted:

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=119866202617286&w=2

And a more recent comment regarding newer hardware and 4.9 -- again, without resolution:

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=131408424000633&w=2

Please boot a RAMDISK kernel from a recent snapshot, as I advised, and see if -current supports your hardware. If so, you can move to -current and be fully supported.

You might try setting your NIC's Ethernet MAC address to something other than all zeroes, perhaps that will circumvent the issue. This is done with ifconfig(8) and its lladdr option.
