: at system startup seems to imply that something is severely broken....

Just add the following to /etc/conf.modules (or /etc/modules.conf, if you're
using that...):

alias net-pf-3 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off

Assuming you have modules-1.3.57 or later, this will eliminate the messages.
