I see this also on a non-debug kernel using:

tuexen@bsd4:~/head/sys/powerpc/conf % cat TCP-NODEBUG 
include		GENERIC64-NODEBUG
ident		TCP-NODEBUG

makeoptions	WITH_EXTRA_TCP_STACKS=1
options		TCPHPTS
options		IPFIREWALL
options		IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options		IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=5
options		IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
