Not at all.

The original poster is looking to drop all packets with a certain
tcp syn#, where the TCP_DROP_SYNFIN option (and you must turn on
the corresponding sysctl for it to be enabled) drops all packets
with both the "syn" and "fin" flags set.

functionally equivalent to:
ipfw add drop tcp from any to any tcpflags syn,fin
