Newbie on tunnelling

Loading a kernel module at boot time is done by editing (or creating)
loader.conf in /boot. And adding [module_name]_load="YES" to load a module,
so: if_gre_load="YES".

Edit rc.conf for startup configurations. Take a look at "man rc.conf". The
sections on network_interfaces and static_routes will be of some help.
