  Here's the problem. Packets sent to the IP address of your system must
use the 127.0.0.1 gateway (right), passing through fxp0 (wrong). You need
lo0 instead of fxp0, there.

>lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384

  Here's the confirmation: 127.0.0.1 isn't bound to lo0.

>Anyone know how I could fix this?

  Check your /etc/rc.conf[.local]: you need lo0 in the network interfaces
list AND a line like this:

ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"

  Be careful not to have the right line in rc.conf and something resetting
it in rc.conf.local, for example.
