I want make a firewall with FreeBSD. For more efficacity and controlling
access, I want enable logging rules.For make this FIREWALL_VERBOSE must
be enabled in kernel.
How make for enable this parameter ? (If kernel must be recompiled how
make ?)
You need the source code to the kernel, you then need to 
go to the /sys/i386/conf directory and modify the GENERIC
file to additionally include the following lines:

options IPFIREWALL 
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE 

then you need to type:

config GENERIC
cd ../../compile/GENERIC
make depend
make
make install

you now have a new kernel with the firewall options,
you need to then setup the firewall options within rc.conf
and rc.firewall..

finally reboot the machine and try it... 
p.s. changing firewall settings can cause a lot of hiccups so
be close to the console when setting this up, also have a good
read of the ipfw command...
