It sure can.  I do this with my systems at home: one FreeBSD host has a
ppp connection to the Internet and an Ethernet interface to all the
other FreeBSD hosts.  You just need to edit /etc/sysconfig and set the
gateway option to YES:

   # If you want this host to be a gateway, set to YES.
   gateway=YES

Also, make sure you've set up routing correctly.  Then, reboot your
system. 

If you'd like to see copies of my /etc/sysconfig and related files, let
me know and I'll pass them along.
