FreeBSD by default sets PATH to what you see in the mail from cron.
That is, /usr/local/bin is not include in the list. This is Normal(tm).

Ideally this should be fixed by doing something like export
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/bin either inside the rc script or inside of the
ipfw2dshild script (if it's a script).

On other FreeBSD systems? You probably have PATH explicitly set in on
of your ~root dotfiles, or in /etc/profile, etc. etc...

root, but see above.
