yep, you got it ;)

may be you like what I do

i have DHCP for my nic in rc.conf

when my eth is up (sis0 in my case)  nothing happens as getting the config 
from the dhcp server

else I call a script to configure my wireless connection (/etc/start-wif)

so you may check running this in crontab as I understand you unplug the cable 
and run around ;)

this runs on 6.0 but should work correctly on 5.x as well

#!/bin/sh
status="`ifconfig sis0 | grep status | awk '{print $2$3}'`"

case ${status} in
        nocarrier)
        (/etc/start-wif &)
        ;;
        *)
        logger -s "running ethernet dhclient"
        ;;
        esac
