Just to clarify, how are the two hooked together? Is it over gigabit
switch, a 10mbps hub, or directly cabled together?

Sure. They're both connected over a gigabit switch, but the Windows
driver's kind of sketchy because it keeps on switching between 100MBit and
1GBit. I haven't really paid that much attention to what speed the FreeBSD
msk driver is registering at.

Ah ha!
I had the flopping between 100mbps and 1gbps problem with some Intel cards
once - some of the machines in the lab were fine, others kept switching
back and forth. We eventually narrowed it down to the cables we had
hand-made; some of them just weren't up to snuff, and the NIC apparently
decided that it had to go back down to 100.
I think you should switch your gigabit switch out for a 100mbps switch and
see if the network becomes more reliable.
