Well, not everything is rosy with IPF, even with the new rc.d script. 
IPF compiled into the kernel works, but loading it as a module fails 
using either version of the rc.d script.  Using the 1.21.2.1 version of 
the ipfilter rc.d script from FreeBSD, I get the following:

/etc/rc: ERROR: ipfilter module is not loaded
link_elf: symbol in6_cksum undefined
kldload:
can't load ipl
:
Exec format error
/etc/rc: ERROR: IP-filter module failed to load.

However, I'm not comfortable messing with this much more.  The machine 
is in Texas, I'm in Seattle, and I have no remote console access to it. 
 If I screw up the firewall and lock myself out, that would really 
suck. ;-)

The 1.21.2.1 ipfilter rc.d script does solve some of the error messages 
I was seeing earlier however, so its probably still worth looking at.

Sorry for all the babble.
