Quite simple really. The GENERIC kernel has support for *ONE* NE2000 NIC
card at the following port, IRQ, etc.. :
device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr
So make sure your NE2000 is set to port 280 irq 10.
Other than that there should be ZERO problem.
You can add more if you want but the generic kernel that is installed by
default only supports one. You shouldnt need to do anything special.

SAMBA runs just EXCELLENT on FreeBSD. Far better IMO than it does on
that other OS. Its VERY simple to install and configure.

You mean run an Xserver and clients on your FreeBSD box, and fireup xterms
ONTO your windows can? No problemo. Youll need to buy an Xserver for
windows AFAIK there are no Free ones.
If you need help or detailed instructions throw me a private email, since
your using southwind.net your more than likely a stones throw from me :)
