No, I think the -q flag is used i.e. to disable output when the rules is 
set, not to disable the logging facilities.
I am missing these kind of logging which I require with the "log" keyword:

[3.4-stable]
May  9 20:14:34 freebsd /kernel: ipfw: 10000 Deny ICMP:3.13 195.22.192.30 
192.168.0.124 in via tun0
May  9 20:14:46 freebsd /kernel: ipfw: 10000 Deny ICMP:3.13 195.22.192.30 
192.168.0.124 in via tun0
May  9 20:17:59 freebsd /kernel: ipfw: 10000 Deny ICMP:8.0 194.119.192.34 
194.243.20.91 in via tun0

In 4.0-STABLE these kind of logging doesn't happen anymore, even if I set 
in the kernel
options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE      #print information about
options         IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100    #limit verbosity

(I repeat because I fw the message in -hackers mailing list)

and even if ipfw logs the reached counter
[4.0-stable]
May 10 19:58:41 freebsd /kernel: ipfw: limit 100 reached on entry 10000

and my ipfw var are ok (I presume):

sysctl -a
[...]
net.inet.ip.fw.enable: 1
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass: 1
net.inet.ip.fw.debug: 1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose: 1
net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit: 100
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets: 256
net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets: 256
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_count: 0
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_max: 1000
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_ack_lifetime: 300
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_syn_lifetime: 20
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_fin_lifetime: 20
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_rst_lifetime: 5
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_short_lifetime: 5
[...]

Thanks to everyone for attention...
