You can't do it that way. The ppp connection has to have an IP address outside of the space your LAN uses. You should use .233 for the ethernet interface on your FreeBSD machine and some other address, outside of your /29, on the serial port. Your ISP should have some subnets that are used for just this purpose. If you have only one host on the "inside" that needs a real IP address then you coulde use xxx.xxx.xxx.233/30 (255.255.255.252) for the PPP connection, xxx.xxx.xxx.237 for the ethernet and xxx.xxx.xxx.238 for that one machine. I'd suggest running ppp -alias, it's painless and works quite well.
