I've been reading the (excellent) firewall section of the handbook at:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html

Section 14.9.6.3 /etc/rc.conf Options says:
If you don't have IPFW compiled into your kernel you will need to
load it with the following statement in your /etc/rc.conf:

firewall_enable="YES"

Perhaps you have two ipfws, the kld and the one in the kernel.

Section 14.9.6.5.7 An Example NAT and Stateful Ruleset says:
The kernel source needs 'option divert' statement added to the other
IPFIREWALL statements compiled into a custom kernel.

So I guess that supersedes your "options IPDIVERT" entry.
