No. IP "masquerading" is not RFC compliant. This has been
discussed to death.
FreeBSD does, however, support proxy services, which is what
IP "masquerading" claims to be.
There is code in the current release of the firewall toolkit
to do this, and there is Sock5. Either one of these will let
you do what you (apparently) want to do, but in an RFC compliant
way.
