This is no longer true; he did indeed find "firewall_nat_enable" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf. The knob seems to have first appeared in February in HEAD and I'm guessing it cues the system to use a new kernel-based nat rather than natd(8), but I've not read anything further about this, as my system isn't as up to date as the OP's. I don't know when this change was MFC'ed, but apparently fairly recently? I suppose we need someone a tad more "in the know" to straighten that out for us.
