am i really thre only one who read ipfw(8) and uses the feature you
found missing?

IPFW(8)     FreeBSD System Manager's Manual

NAME
     ipfw -- IP firewall and traffic shaper control program

SYNOPSIS
     ...
     ipfw [-cnNqS] [-p preproc [preproc-flags]] pathname

you can even tell ipfw(8) which preprocessor you want to run your
rules on, everything builtin for ages...
