You could try pf's load-balanced NAT feature to deal with the NAT. This 
of course assumes you can configure a FreeBSD router directly with line 
presentation i.e. not using an intermediate box between it and the link 
to the ISP. However, I can't say I like the idea much of trying to tie 
all those nodes together with tunnels transiting the ISP.

Sounds like a clear cut case for 802.11s ESS Mesh... which isn't 
available yet.
