To reply to myself:

edit /boot/loader.conf and add:

if_ath_load="YES"

Made it load:

ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0x90080000-0x9008ffff irq 11 at device 4.0 on pci2
ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3
ath0: Ethernet address: 00:0b:cd:59:e8:09
ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
ath0: turbo rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

I have no wireless access point here right now, so I can't test it
actually working.
