I think it's not unreasonable to do:

#
# Some broken implementations can't handle the RFC 1323 and RFC 1644
# TCP options.  If TCP connections randomly hang, try enabling this,
# and bug the vendor of the losing equipment.
#
if [ "x$disable_tcp_extensions" == "xYES" ]; then
	sysctl -nw net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0
	sysctl -nw net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0
fi
