ok.

Setting a default gateway in windows (either manually or from the DHCP 
server) basically sets up a static route on that computer, which is of 
the form:

"for any IP address on any network, make the first hop my gateway"

to do this in mac os x you can use the route command (man route to read 
the man pages) but unless you are strong on TCP/IP networking this 
might be tough.

I guess we need  a GUI app or utility that will set up such a thing.

To any networking gurus:

When we use DHCP doesn't the DHCP server give us a "default route" into 
the routing table?
