You may want to start by reading FreeBSD's wonderful handbook. 
Especially http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html
that page.  This book addresses ipfw, one of the built-in firewalls in
freebsd.  There is also pf included in FreeBSD 5.3.  But regardless,
ipfw is a very easy-to-setup firewall for most applications.
