No. Provided your network cards, etc. are fairly straightforward (i.e., they get detected by the FreeBSD install program), getting a router (possibly with NAT) going is a matter of editing one file and rebooting. All of what I just said is documented in detail in the Handbook. Specific problems can be posted here; easy, beginner issues usually get correct answers within a couple of hours.
