Perhaps you want the "ifconfig -m _interface_" command, as in:

# ifconfig -m bge0
bge0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         options=1a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
         capability list:
                 =1a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
         ether 00:b0:d0:e1:92:a1
         media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
         status: no carrier
         supported media:
                 media autoselect
                 media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
                 media 1000baseTX
                 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
                 media 100baseTX
                 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex
                 media 10baseT/UTP
                 media none
