the lines are:
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias dir='ls'
ipfwadm <yadda yadda i forget exaclty>
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.0.0/24 -S 0.0.0.0/0
So no, none of them have qualified paths and none of them are executed.
(I reboot the machine, no colours, no IP masq...)

I'm not exactly clear about your problem. Do the first two entries
pertaining to ls work but not the ipfwadm entries? In that case I would
suspect a path or permission problem. Do the ipfwadm entries have a full
path to the executable?
If nothing you added works then probably rc.local isn't being called. I
don't remember exactly, but I think it is called by rc.M. The relevant
line may be commented out. You could find where is it called pretty quick
with something like
$grep rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.*
