(check in sysconfig) If your routers on the ISP's net are advertising a default route, you don't need to do anything. If they aren't you may need to add a "route add default (internet gateway IP) 1 in the FreeBSD machine. If your having routing trouble, I suggest you start by drawing the network on a piece of paper, then writing down the route tables in each router in the network. this excercise will help you to get clear in your mind what you want to do. for "normal" routing you shouldn't need to be adding fancy route commands, the only route you really need to care about being right in the machines is the route to 0.0.0.0, the default route.
