It's still present on Mavericks, but the man page for ipfw reads: "This utility is DEPRECATED. Please use pfctl(8) instead."
Also, aside from the traditional port-based firewall, the firewall you enable/disable in the security pref pane is an application-level firewall, separate from ipfw or pf. Apple provides a command-line utility--afctl--to control that. This is the firewall represented in system_profiler output, so, check out the man page for (or use otool on) afctl.
