When using a dynamic IP, the ppp startup lines must be listed above the
natd lines in rc.conf so that ppp will start first and tun0 will be
initiated with a newly assigned dynamic IP as in my setup. If you have a
static IP, then it probably won't matter.
The ipfw variable settings only reminded me which external interface to
pick because I also had the r10 interface listed but commented out. My
comment about the ipfw probably wasn't necessary for your question about
setup of natd...
