Default Installing software without Ethernet Card

Hello

Does anyone know how to install Software without ethernet card? I have an old notebook which only has a cd and floppy drive, but no NIC. I mean FreeBSD packages which are not on the installation CD.
Is it possible to make a serial nullmodem connection and fetch the packages from another machine?
