I agree with Scott's recommendation.

Adding a couple of lines to your existing kernel configuration file
and then recompiling, isn't hard at all.

See:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html

.and:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html

..for more information.

Cheers

Joe
