Sure but rc.local isn't a "standard" file for FreeBSD anymore.  The local 
changes are usually in the rc.conf file.

Yes, you could put it in a startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d if you want 
but the system gives you the option of putting most local configuration in 
one spot for ease of use.

I'm not sure I understand that part.  This is pretty much what I've done:

(DHCP from ISP)
       |
NoCat Box
       |
10.0.0.1
       |
       |
10.0.0.2
       |
     AP
       |
10.1.1.1
       |
(AP serving DHCP pool 10.1.1.2-10.1.1.254 for clients)

AP DHCP gives default route to clients as 10.1.1.1
AP has default route of 10.0.0.1
NoCat box uses natd to send the traffic out its ip from the ISP
NoCat box has static route for the 10.1.1.0/24 network through 10.0.0.2

Hmm. I'll look to see what mine is and send it to you.

Sounds like a fun project.
