IPFW activity is logged by security logging facility and goes by default to \
/var/log/security. You can't change facility without patching ipfw source, but you \
can try to filter it's messages using syslog functionality using something like:

!ipfw
*.*		/var/log/ipfw.log

You can use one of local[0-7] facilities. They are specifically reserved for end user \
use.
