You probably need to fill out /etc/resolv.conf on the FreeBSD box, so it knows where to find the nameserver you want to use. Maybe some entries in /etc/hosts would help too. But, for what you're doing you really don't need the kernel firewall stuff or natd. ppp -alias or ppp -nat (same thing) will do it for you.
