I don't know about kernel support, but the IP Filter package (which may be shipped with the system in future releases, judging from the commits) is capable of NAT functionality. You can install it as a port or package on currently available versions of FreeBSD. I'm not familiar with IPFilter's innards, so you'll have to ask the list for technical details.
