I can't speak for your specific situation, because I've never used a
MediaOne cable modem. However, if it behaves like a regular ethernet
connection then you shouldn't need to do anything too special, it should
just work.
Your best bet is probably to repost your question to the questions mailing
list (questions@FreeBSD.org) and see if people can provide specific advice
there.
If you do get it working, and you had to do anything particularly out of
the ordinary, we'd appreciate you popping back here and letting us know
about it, so we can try and document it in the Handbook and/or FAQ. Even
better would be if you could write the documentation. . .
Cheers,
N
