It's REAL easy to do.  You need to enable gateway in /etc/sysconfig /
/etc/rc.conf.  That is,

enable_gateway=YES

Then you just configure a dial-on demand ppp entry, and use the ppp
-auto -alias <sysname>.  To get it going.  For more detailed info, check
out the Pendantic PPP docs on the Documentation page off the FreeBSD
homepage.
