I suspect, I have to switch to MDROOT to do this, but I thought I'd ask
if anyone is doing this type of configuration in their labs?

What seems to happen is that I lose the nfsroot when I reconfigure the
lagg, and I no longer have access to reconfigure.

e.g. pxeboot from em0, then reconfigure networking to use em0/em1 in lagg0:

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

options=5259b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,LRO,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWFILTER,VLAN_HWTSO>

Look at reroot support, see reboot(8) option -r. I suspect you could
need two reroots: first to some tmpfs or memory backed md(4) where
ifconfig is present to reconfigure interfaces, second to boot into the
final root.

You can't reroot into a tmpfs. It gets unmounted during the reroot which deletes every it ever contained.
