Sure you can combine two lines for bandwidth boost and redundancy.
Ports/net/mpd is probably the best choice considering you have FreeBSD
installed on both gateways. Get familiar with this port, its
configuration is not so difficult. You could even encrypt and/or
compress both links to gain even more speed and security (if the
external server is on a fast, secure line and has a fast CPU). You
should probably sign up with mpd-users mailing list at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpd.
Good luck!
