tools/tools/net80211/scripts has working scripts for many 
configurations.  Conversion to rc.conf variables may or may not always 
be possible (e.g. dynamic wds probably requires a setup.if_foo script 
for the moment).

BTW a bunch of the hostapd.conf stuff you show above is not used.  On 
freebsd hostapd is _only_ an authenticator.  Don't be fooled by all the 
linux-specific stuff you read on the web.
