Hi, This is a pretty common procedure and is documented in the freebsd handbook. Please see:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/natd.html Beware the ipfw default to allow settings. I think there are also some tutorials out on the 'net. You will likely want to alter the inetd.conf file in /etc for enabling ssh and disabling whatever other features you don't want. You can also run ssh as a dedicated process. You can find more information about inetd in the handboox as well.
