for dhcp-spoofing, you could try "route add -interface default
your.public.ip.address" (untested but seems like it should work).

depends on what you want to use the connection for, but either you
could nat (maybe make the BSD box the default - ":nat defserver" in
cli), pptp-relay (a bit messy but is a way to give you control of the
ppp connection if you want it), or if the ISP is co-operative, ask
them for a subnet (in .uk that's usually the route I take since /30
are pretty easily available - but I realise this isn't applicable
everywhere).
