I know there's kernel options for _multicast_ routing, and I'm sure I've seen broadcast routing someplace, but I just can't recall exactly where. Try under the Advanced Routing options in your kernel configuration (I don't have a Linux machine nearby, unfortunately). Bridging would work, but you'd end up with more than just the broadcasts going between the interfaces. Switching would be a better analogy for what you want, as a switch knows that broadcasts get forwarded and other traffic doesn't. I think there's a couple of projects around that aim to implement a Linux "virtual switch" [1]. You could also have a look to the Linux Router Project for info.
