This is not a bug below documentation from
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/network/#configuration_files

If needed, enable IP packet forwarding. You can either compile a
kernel with options GATEWAY, or you can sysctl -w
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 each time your machine boots, or put
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 into /etc/sysctl.conf.

As per the documentation IP Packet Forwarding is enabled either by
recomplation. or setting the kernel variable to 1
or by changing /etc/sysctl.conf. Though if IPflow is enabled then we
have the GATEWAY functionality being implemented
with the desired result.
