Sweet, that worked!  Thank you so much!

For anyone else following this thread this is what I did.

#rem_drv bcmndis

#modinfo|grep ndisapi
This showed no output so I skipped the modunload command

#add_drv -i '"pciex14e4,4328.3"' bcmndis

#ifconfig bcmndis0 plumb
No error hurray!

I'm curious though how you came up with the "pciex14e4,4328" part.  I had used 
"pci14e4,4328" based on the output of   /usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v
I assume this will only work using the 32 bit kernel?
