I've tested your specific case more by hacking the PCI bus driver to assign
a bogus range to my NIC on my netbook and verifying it rejected the request
and allocated a new range. I did have to fix a bug though, so once you get
a chance to test, please test
http://www.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/pci_isa_enable2.patch instead.
I will go ahead and commit a slightly cleaned up version (with less debugging)
today, but the patch above will output enough debugging to verify it is working
without requiring a verbose boot.
