You don't have to enable it. Nothing to add to the loader.conf.

But if you want to mount the partitions during the boot:

18.16.1.2.1 Automatically Mounting Encrypted Partitions

It is possible to create a script to automatically attach, check, and 
mount an encrypted partition, but for security reasons the script should 
not contain the gbde(8) password. Instead, it is recommended that such 
scripts be run manually while providing the password via the console or 
ssh(1).

Please read:
