See chapter 31.2.4 of the FreeBSD Handbook: Building a Router for setting up your FreeBSD machine as a basic router.

For a firewall and possibly NAT you'll need to use PF, the FreeBSD handbook has a basic section on that too:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ewalls-pf.html

Also look at the OpenBSD guide for PF which is more detailed about PF itself:
