/etc/rc.firewall contains no natd rules, and only contains an entry for
enabling packets through the natd interface.  From /etc/rc.firewall:

############
# These rules are required for using natd.  All packets are passed to
# natd before they encounter your remaining rules.  The firewall rules
# will then be run again on each packet after translation by natd,
# minus any divert rules (see natd(8)).
if [ "X${natd_enable}" = X"YES" -a "X${natd_interface}" != X"" ]; then
        $fwcmd add divert natd all from any to any via ${natd_interface}
fi


natd configuration can be placed directly in /etc/rc.conf via the
natd_flags="..." line, or it can be externalized by using
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf", and putting the options, one per line,
into /etc/natd.conf, without preceding dashes.
