Sometimes the easiest way to find this kind of stuff is to look at
/etc/defaults/rc.conf.  That has the default settings for all kinds of
things; I think you'll end up adding this to rc.conf:

natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="vr0"
natd_flags="-n"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
firewall_type="OPEN"
firewall_quiet="YES"

Note that firewall_type line: it leaves everything wide open, not just
vr0.  Probably you'll end up writing your own list of firewall rules and
adding them to /etc/rc.firewall.  Copy one of the sections in there and
make your adjustments, then change firewall_type to use that section.
