AFAIK there isn't a way to do this in FreeBSD without modifying the drivers. There is no mechanism in ifconfig that I can find which would configure a specific set of speeds to negotiate.
Some hardware can do it (for example, we know for sure that igc(4) does since that's how it supports setting ONE specific speed) but it's not a mechanism which can be used generally.
If FreeBSD adds the functionality, we can find a way to support it in the GUI.
