To use ip masquerading in FreeBSD use the ppp with the -alias keyword.

ppp -alias -auto xxx

ping anything.....
make it dial to your provider and assign a default route to it
and do the masquerading thing....

the file /etc/ppp/ppp.conf....

default:
 set device /dev/modem
 set speed 57600
 disable lqr
 deny lqr
 set redial 10 0
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK 
\\dATDT\
\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"

xxx:
 set phone 555-6677
 set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: aaa word: xxx"
 set timeout 180
 set ifaddr 0 1.1.1.1/0
 add 0 0 1.1.1.1
