Hello, i don't know if this helps or is related to the problem, but i also 
had/have trouble with networking on FreeBSD DomUs, particularly with packet 
forwarding. For this purpose i'm running NetBSD 7.0 as a virtual router, 
because OpenBSD 5.9 seems to have the same problem. Perhaps this might help you 
narrow down the issue.
