Actually, it does work on a real machine.  It stalls on a VirtualBox VM during 
or after the NFS root mount.

Strange , I will test it on virtualbox when I get some time next week . I did a 
lot of the testing initially on VMware esxi 4.0 and I did not have any issues 
related to VM stuff . What version of vbox did you use ? What network interface 
choice did you use in vbox ?

VirtualBox 4.1.22, FreeBSD 9-stable amd64 host.  Only the "PCnet-FAST III 
(Am79C973)" can pxe-boot, and only in bridged mode.

Does this nic pxe boot other versions of FreeBSD ?  Isn't there a way to make 
it think it has a intel em nic?

Either this is VirtualBox weirdness as I would like to believe, or more likely user error, because now I've managed to boot FreeBSD 8 and 9 with this setup. Don't know what the difference was.
