If it's in the kernel, the firewall is just there, always.

There are two good reasons you are not getting your rules in after
looking at your rc.conf(5). First,

  firewall_enable="NO"

The start up scripts will not try to load any rules. Second,

  firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
  firewall_type="/root/ipfw.rules"

You probably mean,

  firewall_script="/root/ipfw.rules"
