Not quite.  Most gigabit cards are supported (or should I say most good ones).  

From the kernel config:  
# Gigabit Ethernet NICs.
device		bge		# Broadcom BCM570x (``Tigon III'')
device		em		# Intel Pro/1000 (82542,82543,82544,82540)
device		gx		# Intel Pro/1000 (82542, 82543)
device		lge		# Level 1 LXT1001 (``Mercury'')
device		nge		# NatSemi DP83820 and DP83821
device		sk		# SysKonnect GEnesis
device		ti		# Alteon (``Tigon I'', ``Tigon II'')
device		wx


But that does exclude that Realtek 8169, which is in the re driver,
new in FreeBSD 5.2.  Personally I'd trash the thing (and the vast
majority of this list will say the same) and replace with an Intel or
something else (regardless of if it were supported or not).  Realtek
is widely known for junk cards.  The $30 USD or so will save you a lot
of headaches down the road no matter what OS you run.

For the old D-Link, it uses the ed driver which is there.  It's set
for the following port, IRQ, etc.  There's probably jumpers on the
card, or some sort of software for the card like a DOS utility to
force it to use these settings.  I'd try that first.
device		ed0	at isa? disable port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000
