From looking at your rc.firewall you are using ppp.  You should look into ppp 
aliasing first.  but if you really want to do nat then you will have to include 
the nat interface in the rc.firewall. The following was taken from the default.

From the /etc/rc.firewall 

############
# These rules are required for using natd.  All packets are passed to
# natd before they encounter your remaining rules.  The firewall rules
# will then be run again on each packet after translation by natd,
# minus any divert rules (see natd(8)).
if [ "X${natd_enable}" = X"YES" -a "X${natd_interface}" != X"" ]; then
        $fwcmd add divert natd all from any to any via ${natd_interface}
fi

If you decide to go with ppp aliasing then have a look at
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp21.html#24
for a good start.

I have attached a copy of my /etc/rc.firewall.  I would like any advice
I can get on how to proceed with this....

I need to get machines on my local network (192.168.16.0) to talk to the
'net through the FreeBSD machine (192.168.16.1, inside).  I'm simply stuck
on this one... I don't know how to get natd working properly with this;
if I enabled natd on here, it blocks connections to/from my LAN, etc...

I'm sure it's something small that I'm forgetting or missing here, so if
anyone could help me out on this, I'd be grateful.

BTW: Please send your responses to "drwho@xnet.com" -- I'm not currently
subscribed to the list....

Thanks.
