This is definitely a firewall, although not very obvious which one of
them all :-)

The message is identical to what happens when I load the ipfw.ko
module (one of the firewalls available for FreeBSD) without
configuring any rules to allow some traffic through the firewall.
See the sample transcript below (note that I am running all the
commands as `root', the superuser):

    root@hades[02:39]/root# kldload ipfw
    ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to deny, logging disabled

    root@hades[02:41]/root# ping 127.0.0.1
    PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
    ping: sendto: Permission denied
    ^C

    root@hades[02:42]/root# ipfw add 1 pass ip from any to any
    00001 allow ip from any to any

    root@hades[02:42]/root# ping 127.0.0.1
    PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.084 ms
    ^C

You have obviously enabled one of the firewalls, in your new kernel
config but didn't configure anything to let packets through before
rebooting.   Does your kernel config include any of the following?

    options         IPFIREWALL              #firewall
    options         IPFILTER                #ipfilter support
