Did you tell all your client machines to use the FreeBSD box as their default gateway? Can you ping the clients from the gateway? You probably don't need routed for your particular network setup -- static routing will be fine. Also make sure you're using some kind of IP aliasing on the gateway box so your local IP numbers don't leak out into the Internet (unless they are real, officially assigned numbers...)
