Thank you and the others for your responses. However, I am still stuck.
My shell is tsch. I have tried setting the variables using both 'set' and
'setenv'. If I understand correctly, 'set' is for my login environment and
'setenv' is for the system environment. From what I get from 'man ftp', I
think I'm supposed to use 'setenv'. Is this correct? After setting the
variables, I can verify that they exist by using either the 'set' or
'setenv' as appropriate. I am using the variable 'ftp_proxy' and ensuring
it is lower case as indicated by 'man' and I have used both the IP address
and the machine name. The FreeBSD can ping and connect to the Win 2K so I
know the network portion is functioning.
My Win 2K machine has IP of 192.168.0.254 and is named 'bigdaddy'. Proxy
services on the Win 2K machine are set to the normal ports. Other Windows
machines on my network can use the proxy without problems so I am sure it's
the FreeBSD machine that is not configured correctly.

Hello,
this is not so common :-) Normal way is to use FreeBSD as gate, but
there is so nice command by name 'man' (shor of manual)
Just say "man ftp" (without quotes on shell prompt)
Then search (hit /) for proxy
You'll find (near end of manual):
ftp_proxy URL of FTP proxy to use when making FTP URL requests
(if not defined, use the standard ftp protocol).
http_proxy URL of HTTP proxy to use when making HTTP URL
requests.
To set environment variable use 'setenv ftp_proxy _something_' if your shell
is csh/tcsh or 'export ftp_proxy=_something_' if your shell is sh/bash/zsh
etc.
Place these commands to your starup file (.login for csh or .profile for sh)
And, please, before asking something look into documentation. There is so
nice command 'man'.
Good luck.
