Using ipfw tables is essentially a non-starter, IMHO. How would routing protocols use ipfw based tables, for example? Marko's work touches a lot of files, but I don't think it's heavy weight. I also think using Marko's idea and Jails would allow create the notion of a logical system and multiple such logical systems may be configured on a single FreeBSD system. Regards, Ray.
