 Looking at the situation more closely with your hint, how about making
 the required_modules only conditional on firewall_nat_enable?  If ipfw
 continues to run before nat then the checkyesno natd_enable is
 actually harmful because it makes us assume that the module is loaded,
 when it actually isn't yet.
