I don't know much at all about firewalls, but I would assume that if you have set up your machine to be a firewall, but have not configured the firewall itself, then you would not be able to telnet or ping the machine from outside the firewall. I would suggest reading the Handbook about setting up firewalls, and to direct any specific technical questions about it to freebsd-questions. Firewalls are a common duty for FreeBSD boxen, so I am very confident that your answer will be easy to find.
