: Is there a way of setting up freeBSD to use the default gateway?

Do you use user-level ppp oder pppd? Each of them has their configuration
option to set the default route (usually the IP of your PPP peer).
See the manual pages of ppp(1) and pppd(8).

You may do it manually, too:
route add default ww.xx.yy.zz
