  IPFW *and* something else...
  I guess you need NAT. With Linux (with that thing 'ipchains' called
'firewall') you don't NAT, you masquerade. But it's NAT. ipfw does not
change anything in the packets. It can divert them to another program
(like natd) which can do the job. In any case, it is good and recommended
to read the fine manual...
  I think there's an easy way to what you want from /etc/defaults/rc.conf
  look at the natd options (and maybe /stand/sysinstall can do this for
you). Just enable natd and set the interface or address and next time you
reboot it'll be ok.

  for ipf and ipnat there are manuals too
