It's simply a matter of having lines in /etc/rc.conf to indicate where
the rules are.  I have a similar setup on my gateway and the relevant
lines look like this:

ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipfilter_program="/sbin/ipf"
ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules"
ipfilter_flags=""

ipnat_enable="YES"
ipnat_program="/sbin/ipnat"
ipnat_rules="/etc/ipnat.rules"
ipnat_flags=""

You're welcome but questions (even newbie ones) of a technical
nature should be asked over at questions at freebsd.org.
