If you look at /etc/rc.network, you'll see that your modification to
gateway_enable,

    if [ "X$gateway_enable" = X"YES" ]; then
            echo -n ' IP gateway=YES'
            sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 >/dev/null 2>&1

Just does a sysctl.

I don't know what the output of 'ifconfig' has to do with this. Making
a machine a gateway is independent of how the interfaces are
configured.
