Nuh-uh. The hooks for ipf(8) and ipfw(8) always are in the same place
in ip_input.c and ip_output.c. The order of loading modules has no
impact.

To the original poster, there is nothing you can do short of hacking
ip_input.c and ip_output.c to fit your designs. But you are perfectly
free to do it if you'd like. (Ain't open source and BSD licenses
great?)
