Depends on whether or not they are running a DHCP server. If they are,
then you don't have to change anything. If they aren't, then you need
to find the line in /etc/rc.conf that looks like
	ifconfig_cc0="DHCP"
and make it say
	ifconfig_cc0="xxx.yyy.zzz.www"

where cc is whatever is appropryate for your nic, and the
xxx.yyy.zzz.www is your new static ip address.
