There is not.

Unless you enable a multicast routing daemon, it just follows normal IP
routing rules and will follow the default route if there's no better
match.  If you want to force it to a specific interface, just add a route
for 224.0.0.0/4 pointing to that interface.  (Of course, if you haven't set
multicast=YES in /etc/rc.conf.local then /etc/netstart will create one of
those routes itself with the 'reject' flag set to block all multicast, but
presumably you've already set that correctly.)
