I belive including (setq c-basic-offset 3) in your .emacs (in your
c-mode-hook) would do that.  (I used it before, until getting tired of
having to reindent every someone else had written...)  Don't know if it
conflicts with bsd-style, but it should just be a mather or seting one
before the other I think.
