I'm assuming they mean to enable UPnP...
Not sure of all the security risks, but it does allow programs to designate
ports for their use.
Others on the list probably no more details about UPnP, you can always
reference:

Subject: [pfSense Support] Skype relaying

Is there a way to prevent Skype from relay connections using pfsense. The 
Skype "tech" page doesn't go into much detail... just that you want a p2p 
friendly firewall...

If this can be permitted what are the security implications?


Thanks,
