The hurd install guides say that I must watch carefully during boot to

We have /dev/klog. It can be read only once. So do
cat /dev/klog > boot.log
Hit Ctrl-C afeter some seconds.
(of course: Read the log ;-) )

That is, ifconfig shows no
interfaces other than lo.  If mach does not detect my card during
boot, must I rebuild the kernel -- or is there a way to dynamically
load a driver module?

GNUMach has no concept of kernel modules. Yes, you have to rebuild your kernel. But you can do this on a Linux system.
