you should be able to get away with:

	sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

but there is a relevant option in /etc/rc.conf called gateway_enable
which you should try setting to "YES".

if you don't have some strange topology, that needs `special' messing
with the routing table, you should find it's pretty easy after all.
