FreeBSD doesn't know about the ADSL, it just sees a router. Your "ADSL
modem" is really an ethernet to ATM router, and should answer the DHCP
request for you. Doesn't it?

Only if your telco has limited the number of DHCP client addresses
you are allowed. If that is true, you'll need to configured NAT on
a machine with two network cards, one connected to the LAN and one
to the DSL router. The line to the DSL router will be the "public"
interface and the LAN connection the "private" interface.
