Well, the file doesn't need to be executable.

Also, do you have fxp0 in your rc.conf ?

I use this for tun0, so I've got
1149=[root@chain] /etc# ls -al start_if.tun0 
+ ls -al start_if.tun0
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  152 Oct 23  1998 start_if.tun0
1150=[root@chain] /etc# grep tun0 /etc/rc.conf
+ grep tun0 /etc/rc.conf
network_interfaces="ed0 tun0 lo0"
ifconfig_tun0=
