Is there any hope for this Broadcom wireless chip running on a Compaq F500 laptop? It was successful running Ubuntu 16 using the legacy Broadcom package of drivers. I installed the suggested FreeBSD ports for Broadcom wireless and loaded it as a loader.conf module.

Good luck with this, I have a laptop as well with the BCM4311. and it just doesn't work with FreeBSD 11.0. I had it working with 10.1 though.
I contacted the maintainer and did not hear from him/them. Guess they couldn't be bothered.
