Yes, build a custom image.
You don't tell much details so (IMHO) your options are download the
complete .iso / .fs and the firmware or, download the required sets
and the firmware to another disk and mount it during installation
using bsd.rd.

Even you have no internet connection after the first boot (lets say
you have only iwn) - IIRC - you can install the firmware using
pkg_add.

No, it is not included.
