Are you doing natd(8)? If so, it is pretty easy to do. natd(8) will
end up tracking which interface the packet came in for you. You can
use the information in natd(8), when it translates the source address
on outgoing packets, to "route" packets to a next-hop (one gateway or
another) using a 'fwd' rule. There still are some tricks to doing
this, but it's quite doable.
