I just checked "man rc.conf" and it gives (under 3.3-RELEASE):

......
defaultrouter
                   (str) If not set to NO then create a default route to this
                   host name or IP address (use IP address value if you also
                   require this router to get to a name server!)
.......

Anyway: the case for specifying an interface is not described here, but
in your case you should do 

defaultrouter="-interface ed1"

in your /etc/rc.conf.local.
