I have the same problem:

After I cvsuped my system from 5.3 to 5.4, ipfilter (compiled in the my
custom kernel) & ipnat not start automatically. If I do
"/etc/rc.d/ipfilter start && /etc/rc.d/ipnat start" manually - all works
fine... Lines "ipfilner_enable=YES" and "ipnat_enable=YES" present in
the /etc/rc.conf.
