The author's original motivation for setting up the bridge code was to enable routine from outside the LAN to the inside.
I do this by having my firewall publish the MAC addresses of the inside machines to the outside world. Everything still goes though my filter rules, they are unaffected, but I do not need any fancy patches in my kernel.

"'Secure' Halted Firewalls"? For slackware, runlevel 0 was correct:
# These are the default runlevels in Slackware: # 0 = halt # 1 = single user mode
I for one would only run a dedicated firewall or proxy / Gateway on OpenBSD, anyway, just now, given the current state of GPL OS play.
May I ask why?
