David, By chance is this the same iMac you are having miniupnpd error logs with (per devel list) ?
We usually cross our fingers with Realtek NIC's at the standard 1500 MTU, using jumbo frames is asking for problems IMHO. But to answer your question, there is a IFMTU rc.conf variable, see /stat/etc/rc.conf for documentation.
