That is not my understanding.
To the OP: FreeBSD NIC drivers can and do have version numbers:
huff@>> grep \$FreeBSD /sys/dev/e1000/if_em.c
/*$FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/e1000/if_em.c,v 1.64 2010/12/04 06:38:21 jfv Exp $*/
The system in question:
FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Oct 23 08:15:53 EDT 2010 amd64
Obviously, the driver and OS version have nothing to do with
each other. And the FreeBSD driver version will probably have
nothing to do with any other driver version, especially one provided
by the manufacturer.
