I'm sure this is in the handbook.  If it isn't, it should be.

ifconfig lo0 209.48.24.1 netmask 0xffffffff alias ; route add 209.48.24.1 \
          127.0.0.1 
....
ifconfig lo0 209.48.24.62 netmask 0xffffffff alias ; route add 209.48.24.62 \ 
          127.0.0.1

On the router add a route to the FreeBSD box for the subnet.
