No.  There is only one mac address visible, which is that of the 
firewall/router.  In fact, with many of them, you can clone the mac 
address of a computer.  There's very little that needs to be set up in 
those boxes.  You just configure it to use dhcp to get the settings and 
also to set up the local computers.  If you wish, you can use static 
address on the local net.
