Well, to me it looks as if we need to put it on the interface:
# route add -ifp umb0 default 0.0.0.2
route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable
add net default: gateway 0.0.0.2: Network is unreachable
# ifconfig ubm0 inet 0.0.0.1 0.0.0.2
# route add -ifp umb0 default 0.0.0.2
add net default: gateway 0.0.0.2
