Very clearly, there appears to be no DHCP server on the other end.   
If you have an *ADSL* modem (instead of the phone or ISDN variety),  
it is quite likely that your ISP requires you to use PPP over  
Ethernet (PPPoE).  The handbook has a section explaining how to  
configure your system to connect via this method.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html

If you can show us your ISPs instructions for configuring a Windows  
or Mac system, I'm certain we can help convert those for FreeBSD.


HTH,
Stefan
