syslog.conf is your friend.  ipfw logs through the
kernel.info and higher.  you can also direct ipfw logging to
a differenet file via syslog, with a line similar to the
following in your syslog.conf file:

!ipfw
*.*                             /var/log/ipfw.log

Again, you need to look at your syslog.conf file.
kernel.info and above is the logging facility/level that
ipfw writes to.
