In my local network I have two routers that provide

Yes.

No, but it might be easier to configure a sensible network topology
using two cards. Otherwise, you can configure a virtual interface
(ifconfig rl0 alias YYY)...
-Can I configure my FreeBSD box to use the first
router when I am sending packets to a specific
internet subnet and the second otherwise?
Sure.
-Any relative Docs or Examples please?
Normally, one has one default route, which tells all non-local
traffic to go via your preferred router. You can add additional routes
like so:
route add -net 1.2.3.0/24 router1
route add -net 4.5.6.0/24 router2
There are better ways of managing routing than this, including setting
up BGP/EGP peering with your ISPs, or some other routing protocol
(OSPF), but this should get you started
