You want to check for either "grog_firewall_oif" or "grog_firewall_iif" 
in /etc/rc.conf

egrep -v "^#" /etc/rc.conf |\
egrep -q "grog_firewall_oif | grog_firewall_iif" || (echo "$0" ; exit 1)

The first line says "skips the comment lines" (the ones that begin with

How much can you assume?  Will you know the interface?  If so it's 
fairly easy

ifconfig vr0  |\
	tr '\012' ' ' |\
	 sed 's#.*inet ##; s# netmask.*##'

roughly translated:
line 1: give me the information for vr0 only
line 2: replace the end of line (\012) and replace them with a space
line 3: delete everything from the beginning of the line up to "inet " 
and then delete everything from " netmask" to the end of the line

Put it into a variable

MY_IP=`ifconfig vr0  |\
	tr '\012' ' ' |\
	 sed 's#.*inet ##; s# netmask.*##'`
