 Which module do you refer in "...the module is loaded, ...",
 ipfw_nat.ko or ipdivert.ko?

 In my understanding the problem occurs only when ipfw attempts to
 load firewall rules including a "divert" directive and ipdivert.ko is
 not loaded at that time.  natd(8) also requires ipdivert.ko, but
 rc.d/natd already has required_modules="ipdivert".
 firewall_nat_enable is a knob for in-kernel NAT (this requires
 ipfw_nat.ko), so more orthogonal way would be like the following
 patch:

 http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/ipfw.20121028-1.diff

 It is still unclear to me what is harmful with "checkyesno
 natd_enable" here.  Can you elaborate it a little more?
