1. Is such a setup possible at all?
Yes, in fact this is probably one of the most common setups.

2. Is such a setup "operating system-independent", since it uses an Ethernet NIC? I mean, would FreeBSD recognize any router brand or should I get specific brands?
Any router will work.
(There are of course differences in speed, features, quality, etc.)

3. Would the configuration on FreeBSD be as simple as configuring an Ethernet device and enabling DHCP (as explained in the FreeBSD manual), or would it require additional configurations?
Typically, yep.
