I've run into the same problem. The port needs to be modified or changed
to be two different ports defining FWNAME. I can make it attempt to
build against ipfw with:

MAKE_ARGS= "FWNAME=ipfw"

but it fails to build. Upstream docs seem to indicate it only supports
OSX's ipfw. I would love to see this building for FreeBSD, though.
