OK, so I feel that there are two points to check.

1. Firewall.  Even if you're running GENERIC, firewall thingies
   are compiled as kernel modules and can be loaded by the startup
   scripts.  The output of 'kldstat -v' will show what modules
   are loaded.  BPF is run before filtering, so it sees packets
   that firewall can drop.

2. Enable ICMP verbose mode in the kernel: set the variable
   'icmpprintfs' on the top of the /sys/netinet/ip_icmp.c
   to 1 and define ICMPPRINTFS during kernel compilation via
   'makeoptions ICMPPRINTFS=1'.  After this you should watch for
   kernel messages with the 'icmp' at the beginning of the line.

Hope this helps.
