-Does this mean that there is not a solution to my problem? I have only
two interfaces on the machine: bge0 and lo0 (loopback). I need an
external machine connecting to port 80 to be redirected to port 8080 on
the machine running the webserver and ipfilter.

The following rule should always fail on Solaris
rdr bge0 0/0 port 80 -> 127.0.0.1 port 8080
as will any other RDR to lo0.
Unless I completely misunderstood your problem I thought I posted you a
solution based upon what I setup on my IP Filter firewall. Once you get
the RDR statements setup correctly ensure you have no ipf rules which
may interfere with your testing. Once you have the RDR working, apply
your ipf rules and then if you can no longer reach your server you know
that an ipf rule is blocking it.
