A slight update on this .... wpa_supplicant upstream just accepted my
patch to allow interface matching

So you can achieve the same functionality that the dhcpcd wpa_supplicant
hook script provided by starting wpa_supplicant like this
wpa_supplicant -B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

and voila :)
Linux users will probably have to disable udev network naming rules though.
BSD users will need to sync src/drivers/driver_bsd.c to the current head
as there are more fixes there which are probably required as well.
