You need to pass proto gre.  Ipfw may do this by default, I'm not sure,
but I had to add:

pass in quick on ed0 proto gre all
pass out quick on ed0 proto gre all

to get a VPN working through an ipf firewall.

You may not need to redirect 1723 if the firewall is 'stateful'
and you initiate the connection from 'this' end.
