Assuming that the FreeBSD box is the one that's direcly connected to the
internet: 

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html

That part of the handbook (which I encourage you to read if you haven't
already) explains what's NAT and how to set it up using ipfw/natd. You can
also configure a nat box using ipf/ipnat.

http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf can help if you choose to go the ipf
route.

Cheers,
