I have been able to use IPSEC (do not know about FAST_IPSEC) with
5.2.1R miniinst installation on following setup:

notebook(wi0) <---> AP(bridge) <----> (fxp2)router

I am now on a 5.2.1R with a private kernel incooperated some of my
IPSEC related patches from HEAD (not all) and it also works.

What I had to do had been "excluding IKE traffic" by doing s.th.
 like this (router side config):

spdadd  ROUTER[500] NOTEBOOK[500] udp
        -P out none ;

spdadd  NOTEBOOK[500] ROUTER[500] udp
        -P in none ;

This for sure is not the most nifty way to do but it works.
