There shouldnt be.. On one of my machines,

grep fxp /etc/rc.conf
network_interfaces="fxp0 fxp1 fxp2 fxp3 lo0"

A couple of things to check perhaps, 

try and make sure the cards all have their individual IRQs, and that if
there are no IDE drives in the box, disable the IDE controllers so that
they dont take up IRQs and DMA resources.  What sort of SCSI controller do
you have ?
