I think I saw ssh-ipfw section in jail.conf file of fail2ban application (http://www.fail2ban.org). I believe fail2ban might be the one you looking for.

But I'm sorry I'm using fail2ban in Linux (which is using netfilter's iptables firewall, not IPFW). I'm not sure it will work on FreeBSD and I don't have FreeBSD server lying around outside my VMware environment here, so I wish you good luck trying.
