If you want to stick with the grub loader there's a few things you could try.

Setting grub_run_partition="gpt2" will cause it to look for (hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub/grub.conf, which may solve it if it's just looking in the wrong partition for the grub config. There's also grub_run_dir & grub_run_file to specify the grub directory and config file if needed. Otherwise you could try using the grub_runX options to directly specify the bootloader commands you need to use to make it boot.

There's a bit more information in the list of config options - https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/blob/master/sample-templates/config.sample
