Not if you want a modern 11ac/ax AP. There is no driver which supports hostap and matches off-the-shell APs in terms of stability and speed. athn(4) mostly works but is slow due to lack of proper 11n support and has several unresolved performance bugs. And it still lacks support for 3-antenna devices. bwfm(4) is fast (11ac) but not yet as stable as athn(4). If all you need is 11a/g then ral(4) and ath(4) are good options.
