You dont have to worry about this. It should be fine that
they are in hosts.

In my case I just an other ethernet card. 

Which would bring the total number of network cards to 3
instead of 2. This unfortunatly means that (with this
plan) you would need an other network connection between
the two machines.

Assume the following:
FreeBSD Machine on 192.168.0.0
<ethernet> to 192.168.0.0
<ethernet> to FreeBSD Machine 10.0.0.0
<internet connection>

FreeBSD Machine on 10.0.0.0
<ethernet> to 10.0.0.0
<ethernet> to FreeBSD Machine 192.168.0.0
<internet connection>

And you can buypass a hub/switch by using a 
cross-over cable. A cross over cable is simply
an ethernet cable that maps outbound (TX & RX)
to incomming (RX & TX).
