make sure you have the tap kernel module loaded

kldload /boot/kernel/if_tap.ko

to make sure its there after boot do add
if_tap_load="yes"
to your /boot/loader.conf

When used openvpn i also added

cloned_interfaces="tun1"

to my rc.conf , then  reinitialize the network stack by  running
/etc/netstart


I also set the open vpn client to explicitly use tun1
