I would begin by reading:

$ man 7 firewall
$ man 5 rc.conf
$ less /etc/rc.firewall

I think the source of /etc/rc.firewall may be most enlightening in
regard to the behavior in question (setup_loopback(),
setup_ipv6_mandatory(), etc...).

Have fun, and don't get discouraged (speaking from experience)
