By definition, put two ethernet cards in your FreeBSD computer, give each different IP addresses and connectivity to different networks ... and congratulations: you're multi-homed. By definition, any FreeBSD router is multihomed. My BGP core router (which is FreeBSD) is multihomed and has no default route... but that's really just bragging :) Maybe you need to ask a better question.
