First of all, which version of Squid have you installed? From sources or
ports?

I recommend using 2.6.STABLE16 for WCCP2 and compiling it from sources.

Secondly, you need to decide which FreeBSD firewall (IPFW, PF, IPF) you
want to use to redirect web traffic to Squid's port 3128 via the GRE
tunnel. You MAY need to compile the FreeBSD kernel for this.

Thirdly, you need to setup up the GRE tunnel in your FreeBSD box.
Luckily, you don't need to compile the FreeBSD kernel for this. 6.x has
built-in support for GRE.

Which IOS version is running on your 1841 router?

Lastly, but not the least you need to configure WCCP on your router and
setup the corresponding WCCP configurations on your squid.conf.

To connect all the related pieces of information, you can use the
following keywords in google and search:

Squid + FreeBSD + Cisco + WCCP

Good Luck!
