Go look at the existing /etc/rc.firewall. It already does this! :)
If you specify a firewall type that is not one of client, server, etc.,
it assumes the type is a file of ipfw commands that should be passed to
ipfw. Look at the bottom of the rc.firewall, specifically:
----8<----
elif [ "${firewall_type}" != "UNKNOWN" -a -r "${firewall_type}" ]; then
$fwcmd ${firewall_type}
fi
----8<----
For instance, I put all of my ipfw commands on my router in
/etc/rc.firewall.local and have the following in /etc/rc.conf:
----8<----
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="/etc/rc.firewall.local"
firewall_quiet="NO"
----8<----
