Take a look at "ipfw -a l", and see which rules are being matched.  The output 
from that command is critical for understanding what the firewall is actually 
doing, and should help you figure out what is going on. [1]

Do these make your DNS work better:

ipfw add 1 pass udp from any to any 53
ipfw add pass udp from any 53 to any

...?

These rules are too open, and should just be used for testing, but you can see 
if the problem is with the firewall rules you have now, and adjust things from 
there.

help after this, providing more info would be useful.
