tools/tools/net80211/scripts has working scripts for many
configurations. Conversion to rc.conf variables may or may not always
be possible (e.g. dynamic wds probably requires a setup.if_foo script
for the moment).
BTW a bunch of the hostapd.conf stuff you show above is not used. On
freebsd hostapd is _only_ an authenticator. Don't be fooled by all the
linux-specific stuff you read on the web.
