While the mode of operation you describe is the default behavior, please note
that /etc/rc.firewall ends with:
if [ -r "${firewall_type}" ]; then
${fwcmd} ${firewall_flags} ${firewall_type}
fi
If you set firewall_type to the name of a file,ipfw will happy read one rule
per line from that file via a pre-processor like cpp (or cat)...
