I finally figured this out and and answered my own question.

Wanted to post the findings to the list so if anyone else goes through
what I did, it'll come up on archive site searches.

I didn't have gateway_enable="yes" in rc.conf. Yes, it was that simple.

When I installed the box, I answered no to that question because it was
simply a web server.

Added the line, rebooted, and voilla! It passes packets between
interfaces fine now!
