I was looking at regular 9pin serial alternatives since Dell machines normally only have 1 serial port and I prefer 2.

I don't think it's the case of the OS turning off the NIC. We can access/monitor/control the chassis via the BMC fine through the bios assigned IP address when the computer is off, and when it is booting, but lose control when the kernel loads (the bios assigned ip address is, of course, different from what OS assigns). It seems odd to me how the BMC shares the NIC, but maybe this is normal...I'm new to IPMI.
I can only speak for looking at the Intel gigabit chip datasheets and our em(4) driver somewhat, but there are registers which control the 'pass through' which IPMI uses. It could be that the bge driver is unaware of the registers Broadcom added to support IPMI.
In this case we'd need to find out what they are and teach the driver not to meddle with them.
