In fact, you're trying to set up an IPsec tunnel through a NAT, with
an userland probably compiled by default with NAT-T support, but a
kernel without NAT-T support according to your kernel configuration
file.


To have it work, first add "options IPSEC_NAT_T" to your kernel conf
file, compile / install it again. Then install -HEAD version of
ipsec-tools, as it is actually the only one to be able to send
correctly NAT-T PFkey extensions to FreeBSD kernel.

Then you'll have time to deal with other things such as racoon.conf or
filtering stuff :-)
