  Can you switch to a routed configuration by using CIDR subnets
and/or NAT'ing the DMZ addresses (thereby eliminating the need to do
much, if any, IP reconfiguration)?  Remember, NAT != RFC-1918.  You
can NAT public IP space, too.  (Granted, I dunno if FreeBSD supports
NAT'ing overlapping subnets, either, but maybe...).
