In your rc.conf have you set the following:

### Network routing options: ###
defaultrouter="206.58.97.66 "  # Set to default gateway (or NO).
static_routes=""                # Set to static route list (or leave empty).
gateway_enable="YES"            # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway.
router_enable="YES"             # Set to YES to enable a routing daemon.
router="routed"                 # Name of routing daemon to use if enabled.
router_flags="-q"               # Flags for routing daemon.

With out the above settings, the FreeBSD box will not know where to send
packets.

Also, as someone already pointed out, you may need to subnet you network.
