A similar change warranted ipfw -> ipfw2 IIRC. :)  Note that the module is 
still called 'ipfw' in dependencies.  The '2' in ipfw2 was simply the module
version number.

Another approach would be to just go back to calling it 'ipfw' and drop the
2 entirely.  It's kind of like how pkgng is now called pkg(8), or the
"new NFS client/server" is now just the "NFS client/server".
