MAC is an IPFW2 extension.  All FreeBSD 4.x versions compile IPFW1 by
default, although from 4.7-RELEASE on, you can optionally select to
use IPFW2.  IPFW2 is the default in FreeBSD 5.x.

You need to add:

    IPFW2=3Dtrue

to your /etc/make.conf, and

    options IPFW2

to your kernel config, and rebuild, reinstall world+kernel in the
usual fashion.
