 From my experience, on FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE (circa 4/06) and 6.2-STABLE 
(recent cvsup) I've noticed udp on slirp has been dead since at least 
0.8.2s.20070111. The most recent port version 0.8.2s.20070203 still has 
broken udp on 6.0-STABLE, I haven't yet tested on 6.2-STABLE. I've had 
to resort to tap networking in the meantime as well. *shrug*
