The option is 
e.g.
### Network routing options: ###
defaultrouter="NO"              # Set to default gateway (or NO).
or 
### Network routing options: ###
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"              # Set to default gateway (or NO).

That assumed that one of your interfaces is on the same subnet as
192.168.1.1 is.  e.g if you had 2 interfaces,
ed0 being 192.168.1.2
ed1 being 10.10.10.1 
and you wanted everyting to go out ed0, 
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"              # Set to default gateway (or NO).
is the entry you want.
