Actually, I am becoming suspicious that FreeBSD does not maintain a OpenBSD
Packet Firewall that survives upgrades. Perhaps I should just take all of
the Packet Firewall stuff out of my kernel and learn to use ipfw2.

On the subject of OpenBSD Packet Firewall
OpenBSD 4.5 version of PF firewall which is included with the base FreeBSD
8.x and 9.x releases is no longer supported by OpenBSD and very back level.
The most current version of OpenBSD is 5.1. PF version 5.0 changed the syntax
of the NAT statement making PF no longer backwards compatible which breaks
some Freebsd standard, so updated versions of OpenBSD PF will no longer be
mass ported to FreeBSD. Any bug fix code to OpenBSD PF will have to be
incorporated by hand into FreeBSD's version of PF from this point on.
The following will shine some more light on the subject.

Second reply.
I intended to change the subject line to solved.
Just for informational purposes, you might not want to do any firewall
comparison on the OpenBSD misc list. A Packet Firewall developer
responded to me personally, writing that the signal-to-noise ratio was too
high and to refrain from posting to the list.
So much for solving problems and sharing ideas.
