Found a solution to my problem.  One must add an entry to /etc/make.conf
and then you can rebuild the module, load it, and get the firewall going
with no reboot.  Below is a summary of doing this with my TEST kernel
having the INET6 option commented out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
su-3.00# kldload -v ipl
kldload: can't load ipl.ko: No such file or directory

su-3.00# uname -a
FreeBSD localhost 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #0: Mon Mar 14 16:08:45 EST 2005
andy@localhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TEST  i386

must add NOINET6=YES to /etc/make.conf before you make the new module.....

su-3.00# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ipfilter/

su-3.00# make

su-3.00# make install

su-3.00# kldload -v ipl

Nothing returned to therefore loaded properly...!!!!!

su-3.00# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    6 0xc0400000 59f308   kernel
 2    1 0xc15fb000 17000    linux.ko
 3    1 0xc1670000 16000    ipl.ko

su-3.00# ipfstat -in
empty list for ipfilter(in)

su-3.00# ipfstat -on
empty list for ipfilter(out)

su-3.00# ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules

This locks up your session. Must login again and start new session.....
Success upon new login in which the rules are working!!!
