Doesn't seem to be even remotely supported by FreeBSD-CURRENT as of
writing. However a quick google search revealed this:
https://github.com/erikarn/otus/blob/master/otus/freebsd/src/sys/dev/athp/if_athp_pci.c

If Adrian Chadd's writing in the root of his git repository is still
up-to-date then it means that he is / was working at some time in late
2015 on updating some Qualcomm Atheros drivers and it happens that your
device at least gets mentioned there. I'm not into drivers and can't
tell you anything about the state.

*cough* talk Adrian into polishing / finishing the port *cough*, be his
guinea pig, send him a sample card if he hasn't that particular card at
hand. I'd say that FreeBSD owes a couple of not-so unimportant wireless
advancements to Adrian, so be nice to him. :-)

Other than that, you might check the pfSense FreBSD source tree which
contains the patches and backported drivers to see what cards are really
already supported.
