Which device? If it says that ALTQ is not supported then its not,
unfortunately.
Realtek 8169 for the 5 100 Mbit ports
Realtek 8139 for the 1 Gigabit port
It says neither of the chipsets are supported.

So you are volunteerig to get this working? Keep in mind we do not
have endless amounts of resources.
I'm totally willing to help with this, but if the developers aren't
open to the idea, then it can be a really uphill battle. So I wanted
to make sure you guys were supportive of the idea, especially since I
am not nearly as skilled with BSD as you guys are. But I am willing
to help out, and our sysadmin here also has some good linux experience
and some exposure to BSD. As long as you guys are willing to point us
in the right direction on occasion.
