Yes, I do think sshuttle is the right model for simple "poor mans" (or whatever) tunnels. I love how it works.

The problem is, it still does not work properly on FreeBSD - at least for name resolution. The ssh tunnel works fine, but your DNS goes outside of the tunnel.

So once again, let me state publicly - rsync.net will pay cash money for someone to fix sshuttle for FreeBSD. Just email info@rsync.net.
