No, it won't survive a cold start, 
and I doubt it would survive a reboot. 

In /etc/rc.conf, you should append
" media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" 
to your existing ifconfig_fxp0.

example:

ifconfig_fxp0="inet a.b.c.d netmask w.x.y.z media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"

If this is a DHCP interface, then it might be
best to add the media settings to either 
rc.local, or to /etc/start_if.fxp0
