From http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ipfw.html

Load the new firewall rules:
# sh /etc/rc.ipfw

Be sure to do this from the console! 

Note: You can reload the firewall rules over a network connection (telnet, ssh) by running the command in the background: 

# sh /etc/rc.ipfw &

You will get logged off as soon as the 'ipfw -f flush' command executes, but the script will continue to run.

-- and --

from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipfw   (man ipfw)

     To ease configuration, rules can be put into a file which is processed
     using ipfw as shown in the first synopsis line.  An absolute pathname
     must be used.  The file will be read line by line and applied as argu­
     ments to the ipfw utility.

I've never done it, but that is probably a good place to check.

Good luck,
Neill
