You will need FreeBSD-current. It does work although there is some problems
with Win95 that sends odd length packets.

Just remember to:
  give all the interfaces ipx addresses with the ifconfig command.
  switch ipx routing on with the sysctl variable "net.ipx.ipx.ipxforwarding".
  And run IPXrouted to exchange ipx RIP and SAP information.
