There shouldn't need to be any changes to the routing tables needed if they are
directly connected.  If they do need to be on seperate subnets, then you can add
aliases to each interface so that they see each other as on the same subnet.

On machine "A":
# ifconfig <interface> alias 10.10.1.2 255.255.255.0 (Any number that isn't 0, 1, or 255 ought 
to work for the interface address but we'll use 2 for simplicity) 

On machine "B":
# ifconfig <interface> alias 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

Hopefully this helps you.
