1. I thought every running process including firewall process has to have a socket [IP Port] associated with it.
Not sure if firewall process was excluded from the rule, becoz the firewall process port does not show up no matter what.
This makes me believe that there can be processes like firewalld that can run without acquiring a port ? Interesting but some new concept to me.
2. Also, from @Chubler_XL's statement I understand that there is no way to remotely monitor the firewall like we monitor SMTP [port 25] or SSH [port 22].
Are both my understanding correct ?

fwb_ipfw
fwb_ipfw(1) Firewall Builder fwb_ipfw(1)
NAME
fwb_ipfw - Policy compiler for ipfw
SYNOPSIS
fwb_ipfw [-vVx] [-d wdir] [-o output.fw] [-i] -f data_file.xml object_name
DESCRIPTION
fwb_ipfw is a firewall policy compiler component of Firewall Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). This compiler generates code for ipfw - a firewall
and traffic shaper in FreeBSD (see ipfw(8)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall description from the data file specified with
"-f" option and generates firewall configuration and activation script.
The generated file has a name that starts with the name of the firewall object, with an extension ".fw". It is a shell script that flushes
current policy, then loads new filter and nat rules.
The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.
OPTIONS
-f FILE
Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
-o output.fw
Specify output file name
-d wdir
Specify working directory. Compiler creates firewall activation script in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then all
files will be placed in the current working directory.
-v Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.
-V Print version number and quit.
-i When this option is present, the last argument on the command line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name
-x Generate debugging information while working. This option is intended for debugging only and may produce lots of cryptic messages.
NOTES
Support for ipfw was added in version 1.0.10 of Firewall Builder
