No.

Yep.  You need to add

options		NETATALK

into your kernel config file, and recompile your kernel.  Before doing
that, though, you will need to get the appletalk kernel patches from
ftp.freebsd.org and apply them.  2.2.5-RELEASE's kernel has broken
AppleTalk support as distributed.

Since you have no net access where you are, I'll include the appropriate
kernel patch in a seperate email that won't go to the list.  Use if you
want to (if you trust me).  I promise it's the real thing, but I'll leave
the decision up to you.

(who has been through this with Netatalk already)
