Let's go through the steps:
1) does /var/log/ipfw.log exist
2) did you add enter to /etc/syslog.conf
3) did you place compile your kernel with the following:
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #print information about
# dropped packets
options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD #enable transparent proxy support
options "IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100" #limit verbosity
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT #allow everything by default
4) specifically did you set IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT
