Googling for some of the values might be the only option.  There are a
lot of sysctl flags that are quite obscure and only known seemingly to
the coders that wrote the source code for the OS.

This URL:

http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/sysctl.descriptions

is ok for a few flags, but unfortunately doesn't list the ipf flags.

You could also try grepping for the flags in /usr/src and seeing if
there are any hints there.
