It may possibly be supported by the iwn(4) driver. See:

However it will not support any 'N' modes if it is supported at all. You would have to look into it more closely.

iwn driver doesn't support AP mode - see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwn&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+9.0-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html

For AP mode your best best is probably to use a card with an Atheros chipset.
