It could be done, and pretty easily too I believe. However, the problem is that it would need to be done through some kind of 'bridge' website, and whoever ran the server for such a site would have some serious legal problems. I mean, if people just hosting .torrent files can be successfully prosecuted, it seems extremely unlikely that a Freenet bridge wouldn't land the owner in prison for many, many years. But yes, all you really should need to do is lightly modify the config file or set up a proxy on your local machine and you can start serving all of Freenet to the outside world. But you would have whatever your national LEA is knocking on your door as soon as they discovered it. Sure, there are some nations (the US included) where you _shouldn't_ be able to be charged with anything for such an act, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't try (and succeed...).
