Actually, You can do this with ipfw. I don't know when it appeared, but
from the ipfw(8) man page on a 4.2 machine:
--- snip ---
options:
[ . . . ]
uid user
Match all TCP or UDP packets sent by or received for a
user. A user may be matched by name or identification
number.
gid group
Match all TCP or UDP packets sent by or received for a
group. A group may be matched by name or identification
number.
--- snip ---
Never tried it... but it is there.
