>Description:
I've finally tracked down a strange problem that I've also seen under
3.X before. It seems that setting the NIS domain name in rc.network
before ipfw is initialized causes ipfw rule adds later on in 
the boot process to be extremely slow. (I see about a minute delay 
per rule).

Fix: Set the NIS domain name after ipfw is initialized.

Note: I've no idea why this fixes it, or why setting the NIS
      domain name would slow down ipfw to a crawl...
>How-To-Repeat:
Include these lines in /etc/rc.conf:

firewall_enable="client"
firewall_type="/etc/rc.firewall.local"

nisdomainname="mydomain"
nis_client_enable="YES"

Reboot.
