The standard way to do this on the command line is "ifconfig inet up" (the up is isn't required the first time you bring it up). To make it happen on startup, add the appropriate entries to /etc/rc.conf. If you're not sure what those are, read /etc/defaults/rc.conf (whoops - that's assuming you're running a recent freebsd; otherwise you have to work on /etc/rc.conf directly).
