No, it's not using the GRE patches. I'm using the instructions for
4.8-RELEASE/STABLE:

FreeBSD-4.8 and later

The operating system now comes standard with some GRE support. You need to
make a kernel with the GRE code enabled:

pseudo-device gre

And then configure the tunnel so that the router's GRE packets are accepted:

# ifconfig gre0 create
# ifconfig gre0 $squid_ip $router_ip netmask 255.255.255.255 up
# ifconfig gre0 tunnel $squid_ip $router_ip
# route delete $router_ip

And this server is using the same patched GRE module?

If you do not patch your GRE module then your FreeBSD box will not at
all react to WCCP packets redirected by your router, no matter which
packet level filter you tries to apply to the packets.
