I had the same problem a few weeks ago.
It had something to do with the firewall_* settings in /etc/rc.conf .
The issue may have been caused by an weird combination of firewall_script
pointing to a custom rc.firewall file and firewall_type being undefined or
something similiar. I'm sorry I can't be more precise, as I don't have a
copy of my old stuff left and have not had the time to figure out the exact
reason back then either.
So I suggest commenting out firewall_* and reboot, see if it works, and go
from there. Check if you are using firewall_* as it is supposed, I found it
to be a bit confusing sometimes.
Oh, and don't lock yourself out! :-)
