Hello Richard,
The first step is really easy - assuming you have a FreeBSD with two
nics in it - edit /etc/rc.conf and comment out the line that starts with
'defaultrouter=' and then add a line saying 'gateway_enable=YES.
The second step is a bit more complicated - you will have to decide on a
firewall and a NAT mechanism. Depending on your choice here you will
have to do various things to implement it.
The handbook is a good start when chosing firewall -
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/firewalls.html .
There are alot of other additional information spread out on the
(w)internet - here's a couple:
ipfilter
http://freebsd.peon.net/tutorials/21/
ipfilter and pf resources
http://www.obfuscation.org/ipf/
pf

I hope this will help you get started.
Greetings
/Roger
