Do you have bpfilter in your kernel?

>From /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT:
#  The `bpfilter' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter.  Be
#  aware of the legal and administrative consequences of enabling this
#  option.  The number of devices determines the maximum number of
#  simultaneous BPF clients programs runnable.
pseudo-device   bpfilter        4       #Berkeley packet filter
