Well, here's what I've done so far:

1) Copied the netwg311.sys and wg311v2.inf files frome the Windows 2000 
folder from the distribution CD-ROM.

2) Ran ndiscvt -i /home/ecrist/wg311v2.inf -s /home/ecrist/netwg311.sys 
-o ndis_driver_data.h as root

3) Copied ndis_driver_data.h to the /usr/src/sys directory.

4) Added the following lines to my custom kernel config (GROG)
		options NDISAPO
		device ndis

5) Ran (from /usr/src) make buildkernel KERNCONF=GROG

6) Ran (from /usr/src) make installkernel KERNCONF=GROG

7) Rebooted (no ndis0 listing in ifconfig output)

Any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks.
