You are running FreeBSD verion >= 2.0 then multicast will be in by default.

Check your /etc/sysconfig and see if the lines that look something like
below are uncommented:

static_routes="multicast loopback"
route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"

--mark.
