There's very little to configuring a tftp server:

sudo yum install tftp-server
sudo /sbin/chkconfig tftp on
sudo /sbin/chkconfig xinetd on       # if it's not set to start automatically
sudo /sbin/service xinetd start      # and/or not started already
sudo cp pxebootablefile /tftpboot/

That's all you need to do with tftp, however, you don't mention whether
the BSD kernel is directly PXE-bootable (I'm guessing this is m0n0wall,
with which I have only a passing familiarity.) If it's not, then you may
need to do something more sophisticated involving PXELINUX.

You also fail to mention whether you've got a DHCP server.

If you need more help, then providing more information is useful.
