Do you intend to use <a> or <img> tags to refer to the objects on your FreeBSD box? If so, you can try dynamic DNS (ZoneEdit.com works fine for me - of course, you will need a domain name for this to work), and just use standard <a href="http://my.dynamic.name/iamge.jpg">; or <img src="http://my.dynamic.name/image.jpg>; to pull them into your docs. Make sure your FreeBSD box updates its dynamic DNS entry on reboot, and it should "just work".
