It looks like fixing the rc.d script is simply a matter of checking for the fw 
node rather than fw.enable.  The pfil(9) requirement is just a matter of 
documenting the new requirement.  The IPDIVERT thing is probably larger 
though. :(  We may need to just tell people to compile ipfw into the kernel 
for now if they want divert sockets, much as they do if they want 'default to 
accept'.
