man 4 lp
You need the link0 option.
If you want the linux box to forward you'll have to set it up
accordingly (dunno how myself) and then add an appropriate route on
the freebsd box (``route add default -iface lp0'' will probably work).
You'll also need to make sure that the other boxes know where the
FreeBSD box is with the appropriate routing table entries.
