You forgot that rc.conf does not contain commands, but only variable
assignments. The latter of the last two lines overwrites the value
set in the former.

You may want to replace the first of these two lines by:

autobridge_bridge0="bge0" # add further interfaces as required

The parameter holds a space separated list and may include wild-cards
(e.g. "bge0 ixp*").

Yes, as explained above ...

This will be fixed if you use "autobridge" as explained above. See
/etc/rc.d/bridge for details.
