Huh?
travel$ uname -a
OpenBSD travel.codewright.com 2.1 TRAVEL#3 i386
travel$ ls /etc/rc*
/etc/rc /etc/rc.local.orig
/etc/rc.local /etc/rc.securelevel
travel$ man -k filter
bpf (4) - Berkeley Packet Filter
col (1) - filter reverse line feeds from input
colcrt (1) - filter nroff output for CRT previewing
ipf (1) - alters packet filtering lists for IP packet input and output
ipf (4) - packet filtering kernel interface
ipf (5) - IP packet filter rule syntax
ipfstat (8) - reports on packet filter statistics and filter list
ipftest (8) - test packet filter rules with arbitrary input.

I'd say you did not do a complete install. This system was
generated/installed from the "current" branch a week or so ago,
so it is actually pre-2.1. Note: the latest/greatest files
for /etc -- your rc.* files -- are not installed when you generate
a system from source. I solved this by
cd /usr/src/etc && make distribution-etc-root-var
then restoring any local changes from my backed up copies of important
files. I don't know if this was the correct thing to do, but it seemed
to work for me.
