That page pretty much summarises the state of affairs, yes. Basically, you need a VIA-based ethernet card card (vr driver) and -CURRENT, or a vr card with 7.0 and patches from here: http://www.stsp.name/wol/FreeBSD-8-CURRENT-wol-backported-to-7.0/ All of those. Except the patch for pxe.c, that's there by accident. If you don't have a vr card, you will likely need to do some hacking. Follow the links from the wiki page for more information.
