If you are using PCI network cards (which it sounds like you are), all you
should have to do is put it in your /etc/rc.conf.
For example, say you have two network cards: rl0 and rl1, and rl0 is on the
outside interface and rl1 is inside (I presume you're setting up a firewall
with natd?)
you would make your /etc/rc.conf look something like this:
network_interfaces="rl0 rl1 lo0"
hostname="gateway.mybsdgw.com" # your hostname here
gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES" # If you are using ipfw
firewall_type="OPEN" # your firewall type here
natd_enable="YES" # If you are using natd
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"
natd_interface="rl0"
ifconfig_rl0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy"
ifconfig_rl1="inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
To setup natd, read "man natd" they have pretty good tutorial there.
