 You're right ng_onetomany uses all the interfaces unless one goes
 down which is not what you're talking about.  FreeBSD does not provide
 this functionality by default, but there are many hardware vendors 
 that do provide cards that offer interface redundancy w/o the need
 for special software interfaces.

 That being said, you could write something, even in shell script, to
 poll an interface, and when it's state changes to down, or the link
 is no longer active, bring up and configure a new interface.  This
 would lose all the existing connections, but new connections would
 survive the failover.
