No need for a custom kernel for this. If you configure ipfw in rc.conf as
per the Handbook (29.4), it will load the module and your configuration
using the GENERIC kernel.

I might also point out that use of freebsd-update does NOT require that you
run a GENERIC kernel. This is discussed in the Handbook (23.2). You MUST
have a copy of the GENERIC kernel, either as your boot kernel or by placing
a copy of the GENERIC kernel in /boot/GENERIC. (N.B. This is a file name,
not a directory.) This does require rebuilding your custom kernel after the
update is otherwise complete.
