Don't know yet, but what does ipfw show says? Maybe it enabled the /etc/rc.firewall?

To enable PF put in your firewall:

options         IPFILTER                #ipfilter support

These can be put optionally:
options         IPFILTER_LOG            #ipfilter logging   
options         IPFILTER_DEFAULT_BLOCK  #block all packets by default

I don't think you want the last one yet, so first comment it out.
