Using ppp for Inet connection, or a NIC/broadband?

I use "ppp -nat" for my modem connection.  For broadband,
use "natd_enable=YES" and "natd_interface=rl0" (or whatever
if you have...)

IIRC, you must have some kernel options to do the latter,
or perhaps a KLD.

Check the handbook section on "Network Address Translation"
in chapter 19.....
