Some particular packet, or just a 'typical' packet?

The latter number is -much- easier to get thant the former.

See how much CPU time ipfw used during a given interval.
See how many packets were handled during that same interval.

Divide the first number by the second.  this will give you 'average'
cpu tie per packet.
