does this error message mean anything bad?

In the average case, someone is doing a portscan against you. In the
worst case, they're trying to do a DOS attack.

I suggest that you set the following sysctl variables

net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2
net.inet.udp.blackhole=1

and that you read the man page for blackhole(4).

P.S. this would better fit on freebsd-questions@
