Dumb ipnat question

I have built a simple 7.1 system in a VM. I built a custom kernel that is basically GENERIC minus some hardware stuff I don't need, plus a few things that look cool.
When I attempt to run the ipnat command, I get the error:
/dev/ipnat: open: No such file or directory
Sure enough, there are no ip* devices in /dev/. In the "olden days", when I used to do a lot of BSD hacking, you used MAKEDEV to make the devices you wanted. Nowadays, it's done with devfs. I believe the upshot is that it's supposed to be semi-automagic, isn't it?
Anyway, what am I doing wrong? What do I need to configure to use ipnat and then later ipfw or ipfilter?
