One for your router's eth port and the FreeBSD nic atttached to it. The second for your internal hosts. If you can live with 30 internal hosts that's a viable (though wasteful) solution. And you'll be up in minutes. If you need more internal addresses you need to take his advice on getting a /30 for the router to FBSD connection and using your /26 for the internal hosts.
