Hi,
You have dhcp6c configured on a lagg0 interface, and the lagg0 interface is
created, but not configured anywhere in your configuration. But your problem is
about IPv4 and not IPv6. So it might not be related. But it makes me wonder
about your config.
I can't find in your log messages that dhclient is ever started.
Can you try to configure ifconfig_em0="SYNCDHCP" instead of "DHCP"? That should
start dhclient earlier and wait for the IP and must give output of dhclient. Please reply with the
console log output of that boot run.
To me your configuration looks really messy, so I'm sorry that I can't really
help you any further. I can't easily figure out what you configured and what is
still the default. My advice would be to remove all the defaults from your
/etc/rc.conf and only keep lines that actually configure something.
I hope you figure out the issue some day.
Regards,
Ronald.

Yes, I do, since I change things on an experimental basis quite often.
That never induced any issue in the last decades using this kind of approach.
Each variable
set in defaults/rc.conf should be cleanly overriden via rc.conf and
rc.conf.local, shouldn't
it? The only possible issue I could imagine is the order variables appear and
being processed
by rc.subr and siblings ... or am I wrong?
Kind regards,
