4.9->5.x and using IPFW2 features

I am curious to know if I do a cvsup from 4.9 to 5.x, and make the
kernel using the existing 4.9 config file that I have built, will the
IPFW2 feature set be available to me by default, or do I have to (or
should I) use the config file that comes with the src upgrade?

Also, just a note about a prior post, we were not able to get our perl
IPFW script to run out of rc.conf with the firewall_script directive. Is
it safe to load it out of rc.d startup directory, or should this be
avoided?

Tks,
