I'm on my way home now, but a quick look at the source suggests that unless 
ipfw.ko is built with this option set, rule-based forwarding is disabled - 
and indeed this message appears in my boot messages.

Presumably the option is not fed to the module during a buildkernel.

I'm going to try building just that module with the option set.
