Something like this in /etc/rc.conf will work:

static_routes="example"
route_example="-net 10.0.0.0 192.168.7.2"

Any traffic for 10.0.0.0/8 goes out through 192.168.7.2. 

Using this alias format, you can add as many static routes as you need.

You can either set "gateway_enable=yes" in /etc/rc.conf, or put the 
following in /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

/etc/sysctl.conf is read as the machine goes multi-user, and can be used to
configure many sysctls.

HTH,
