From there you can do some poking around, such as running `ifconfig' to see if you network interface is in fact detected and configured. If so, you could also check your routing table with `netstat -rn'. However, FreeBSD should automatically add a route for any hosts on the same network as your network interface. So, unless the FTP server is on a different network then there shouldn't be a problem. If for some reason (and it probably shouldn't be this way) the Mac FTP server is on a differnt IP network, you'll have to add a special route to that network manually, or simply put the Mac on the same network that is being handed out by your DHCP server.
