I think for all those types of traffic, FreeBSD would not currently
provide a complete solution.  Soon, perhaps - maybe even now, using
software that's not included by default (but perhaps available on the
net, somewhere).  I really couldn't say for sure.

However, for IP routing at least I would try reading the new firewalls
chapter in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook or reading the `ipfw' man
page.
