Nope, I'm using ipfw in-kernel NAT, which is not the default in
rc.firewall, but is easy to paste in next to or in place of the default
natd configuration.

        case ${firewall_nat_enable} in
        [Yy][Ee][Ss])
                if [ -n "${firewall_nat_interface}" ]; then
                        if echo "${firewall_nat_interface}" | \
                                grep -q -E '^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+){0,3}$'; then
                                firewall_nat_flags="ip ${firewall_nat_interface} ${firewall_nat_flags}"
                        else
                                firewall_nat_flags="if ${firewall_nat_interface} ${firewall_nat_flags}"
                        fi
                        ${fwcmd} nat 123 config log ${firewall_nat_flags}
                        ${fwcmd} add nat 123 ip4 from any to any via ${firewall_nat_interface}
                fi
                ;;
        esac

My suspicion is that if a packet matches the rule to pass it to dummynet
that it is bypassing NAT.
