I also have a similiar setup, mine has only one network card, basically come out of the cable modem into a hub and just plug in the freebsd machine and then point the other machines to the freebsd machine that has firewall and natd running. One thing i did notice is that windows will detect any conflicts on the network that are using it's ip address and disable the interface. you will have to alias the network card in your rc.conf for 2 addresses the one given to you by @home and the fake one, use the fake one as your gateway.
