I believe the problem here is that
ifconfig_nic="inet IP" ifconfig_nic="ether MAC"
does not work on one line and does not work on two either, the latter overrides and or you get an IP address with original MAC or you get a new MAC without IP.
Yes, you have to put 'ifconfig nic ether MAC' in /etc/start_if.nic for this to work afair. Same approach you need to set WEP etc on a wireless nic if you have ifconfig_nic="DHCP" in your rc.conf.
if I am remembering well dhcp things you can put into dhclient.conf as
interface "nic" { media "ssid SSID nwkey KEY"; }
or so to be set before sending the dhcp request.
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf works much nicer for this. Put all the wireless settings in there (including unencrypted, WEP, or WPA) for as many different networks as you want. Add WPA to the ifconfig line in /etc/rc.conf. Then wpa_supplicant handles scanning for networks, associating to the access point, and bringing the interface "up". Only after the interface is "up" will dhclient be run.
