I am also having a problem getting logging to work (as described below).
I tried to start it manually with:

ipmon -P -D -oi /var/log/ipflog

and I get a message saying "unknown log option i".

I read http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc%2F56715, and it
says "start ipmon after initializing ipfilter".  So, I changed the order
of the entries in rc.conf and now the ipmon statements are above the
ipfilter statements, rebooted but still nothing in the log.  Does the
order of the statements in rc.conf mean anything?  How do you get ipmon to
start after ipfilter?
