I accomplished this by simply setting
firewall_type="/etc/firewall_rules.m4" and modifying the last little bit of
the /etc/rc.firewall to read ...
elif [ "${firewall_type}" != "UNKNOWN" -a -r "${firewall_type}" ]; then
$fwcmd -p /usr/bin/m4 ${firewall_type}
fi
This puts all the custom firewall rules into one location that should never
be disturbed by an upgrade. I couldn't get around the need to modify the
rc.firewall file somewhat though to allow for the use of M4.
