I eventually figured it out.. after HOURS of checking around.

I did see that section, it also mentions that you need the kernel options 
if you will be doing NAT.

That options is still needed if you will be doing NAT.
The problem was that I had seen in /etc/defaults/rc.conf a
network_interfaces="automatic" so I thought that 5.X did not need a 
network_interfaces line.

Once I put
network_interfaces="fxp0 ed0 lo0"

It all worked. An only took me 4 hours to figure it out. :-(
