No,

  natd_interface=<Public IP>

From rc.conf(5),

     natd_interface
                   This is the name of the public interface on which natd
                   should run.  It is mandatory if natd_enable is set to YES.
                   The interface may be given as an interface name or as an IP
                   address.

natd(8) won't start unless 'natd_interface' is set. See rc.network
(sorry about the long line, but quoting code verbatim),

                                # Network Address Translation daemon
                                #
                                case ${natd_enable} in
                                [Yy][Ee][Ss])
                                        if [ -n "${natd_interface}" ]; then
                                          .
                                          .
                                          .
                                                echo -n ' natd'; ${natd_program:-/sbin/natd} ${natd_flags} ${natd_ifarg}
                                        fi
