As written few lines below:

---
These options can be used when directly running natd(8) or placed within
the natd_flags="" option in /etc/rc.conf.
---

However something is missing in the Handbook: how to define a natd rules
file, for example adding the following line in /etc/rc.conf:

natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"

with /etc/natd.conf providing options and translation rules:

redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.2:6667 6667
redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.3:80 80

I will fix this doc issue soon.  Thanks for the report.
