Yes and no.

No in that your freebsd box commonly will use an ethernet connection to 
some type of gateway which forwards your packets to the internet.  T1, DSL, 
cable, dialup-modem proxy, whatever.

Yes in that each connection method may require you to configure your 
freebsd box differently to take advantage of your connection.

See the handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html ) to begin 
your learning of how this all works.
