I can't help you with regards to the "rdr" rules, as I'm still fairly
unfamiliar with redirecting packets around, but with regards to actual
firewall rules, these are what we use on our RELENG_6 boxes.  (On
RELENG_7, you can use the same thing, but remove the "flags S/SA keep
state" portion -- it's implicit).


# Punch holes for FTP.  The rule looks complex, so here it is explained:
# - Make sure pass rule only applies to the XXXXX IP (ftp.server.com)
# - Permit incoming connections to port 21 (main FTP service)
# - Permit incoming connections to ports 49152-65535 (FTP passive mode)
# - TCP port 20 is actually for **outbound** connections in FTP active mode,
#   and since we allow all outbound traffic, we don't need a rule for it.
# - TCP ports 49152-65535 come from ftpd(8) and ip(4) manpages; there are
#   sysctl(8) knobs for theses, but we shouldn't mess with those.
#
pass in quick on $ext_if proto tcp from any to XXXXX port { ftp, 49152:65535 } 
flags S/SA keep state


Hope this helps, particularly the comments in our pf.conf.
