There are several ways to do that. I guess the most simple is to just use you
routers public address both on pppoe0 and fxp0, turn on ip forwarding and set
apropriate netmasks, and double check routes (especially the default route,
so it goes out of pppoe0).

I have a similar setup, where I (mostly for historical reasons combined with
administrative laziness) use NAT to do it: the internal network interface has
a 192.168.x.x number, all public servers too, and I map those internal
numbers via NAT on the router to the public address. This made filtering
rules pretty easy in my case, but I'm not sure I would choose this aproach
again for a from-scratch setup, especially if IPv6 would be involved and
NAT could be avoided (in my current setup I need NAT for other reasons
anyway).
