Im really not sure what youre asking. Basically everything has to get
filtered through natd before it can be run through the rest of the ipfw
rules. some exceptions to this are the two loopback rules simply because
they generally never involve either of youre other network interfaces (could
be wrong here, but i dont think so). The basic rule is that you have natd
before you have _any_ "add pass" or "add allow" rules.  Hope that answered
youre question!s

I'm confused.  Why does rc.firewall put such things at the start of the
list if its not intended to be there?
