Okay I run FreeBSD 4.8 Stable I can get it by typing at the prompt:
ifconfig -a
You will see something like this:
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
inet6 fe80::210:4bff:fe31:5cae%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:10:4b:31:5c:ae <--- This is your MAC address
media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP
status: active
That should do it.
