I believe you are correct.  Though there appears to be two ways to
achieve
the same result.  If you define:

firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="UNKNOWN"             # default in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
firewall_script="/etc/ipfw.rules"

the rc.network will run /etc/ipfw.rules and you *need* the leading
/sbin/ipfw
(and /etc/rc.firewall will do nothing, actually if I am reading
rc.network correctly, it wont be run at all and firewall_type is not
used)
