I also have this line in dmesg:
ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding disabled, default
to deny, logging disabled

I see that 'rule-based forwarding' is disabled. Is this what caused the
error? How can I enable it? I can't find the details on the Handbook.

Add:

options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD
options IPFIREWALL_DIVERT

...to your kernel config file.  This is mostly documented here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html

Also note that ipfw forwarding alone may not do what you expect, unless you make special efforts on the machine being forwarded to, to recognize the additional IP addresses. You might find using the redirect_host or redirect_port directives to natd more appropriate for your purposes.
