I think a more precise way of stating this is:

Given this setup:         NET      
                           |
                 /-----/Cisco/-----/
                    |           |
                    |           |
                    E1 FreeBSD E2

How can I configure the box so that traffic comming to E2 doesn't try
and route back to the destination via E1 (Which is the Network with my
default gateway). An obvious solution would be to implement 2 defaults,
but this does not seem to be implemented.

Another solution would be to try setting up BGP on the FreeBSD machine,
but this seems excessive.

Ideas anyone?
