If the firewall device supports netflow, you could use one of the 
netflow collector/reporter ports.  Otherwise you'll have to setup a 
mirror port on a switch, direct all the packets to another machine and 
use a program that captures/counts the packets on the wire and does the 
necessary stats.

Fyi, for real-time address/protocol LAN statistics, we submitted a port 
a few months ago in net/ltm.  You can add your own protocol types, but 
you'll need to read the supplied manual entries first :)
