	You mean you can't:

	# telnet $PRIVATE_IP 8080

	From your BSD machine?  That leaves only 2 possible problems:

	1)  The program isn't listening on port 8080 tcp on your
	$PRIVATE_IP (Use netstat -an on that machine to verify)

	2) The firewall is blocking the packets.

	I still haven't seen the output of ipfw -a l yet so I can't be
	sure.  Packets don't always act the way you think they do when nat
	is in the picture.
