Has anyone else seen this, or have a better fix? I looked at >/etc/defaults/rc.conf and did not see any new change in syntax of the ipf >related lines. Thanks, Rob. The were some changes for ipfilter related variables in /etc/defaults/rc.conf because their usage did not match the rest of the rc.conf file at all. The documentation in rc.conf(5) has been updated accordingly. So I guess you must have overlooked the changes somehow while merging /etc... From the fact that you had troubles I conclude that you had more than just the *_enable variables in your /etc/rc.conf[.local] file. Only include settings that differ from the defaults in /etc/rc.conf, this way you can easily avoid these kind of problems.
