you are wrong in giving this guy incorrect info.
ipfw can be run just by adding correct statement to rc.conf
it does not have to be compiled into kernel
maybe you should read the firewall section first before giving
advice

You need to recompile your kernel with the following options:

options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=1000

(Change the value for IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT to suit your own
needs).

You also need to read the ipfw man page, and the bit of the handbook
about ipfw at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-
ipfw.html

HTH,

Dan
