You want the ifconfig_fxp0=... and ifconfig_fxp1=... lines in your
/etc/rc.conf file. Currently you probably have something like:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 205.150.82.194 netmask 0xfff0 broadcast 205.150.82.207"
maybe with some additional options. All you should need to do is change
those lines to match the new values. Do this before you power everything
down in the old colo, then the machines should come up correctly configured
in the new location.

The gateway address goes in your defaultrouter=... line in /etc/rc.conf.
This refers to the host on the 65.39.193.144 network that knows how to
route to other networks. Your switch may or may not have its own IP
address, but that's not relevant here.
You shouldn't need to use the network number anywhere
explicitly... ifconfig should be able to work it (and the broadcast
address) out from the netmask and host address you give it, i.e:
65.39.193.152 AND 255.255.255.240 = 65.39.193.144
So on your first machine, you probably want:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 65.39.193.152 netmask 0xfff0"
ifconfig_fxp1="inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xfc00"
defaultrouter="65.39.139.145"
and so on for the other two.

The switch probably won't care, but you might have ARP problems with that
kind of setup. I really not sure though... maybe someone else can
clarify what the problems might be?
Hope that helps,
