I just set up a box to do that. There's tutorials on the FreeBSD site, but you kind of have to dig around a bit because none of them is exhaustive. Check the Handbook, Chapter 10 on Security. Also, read Chapter 9 on recompiling your kernel (you probably already can do this unless OpenBSD is totally different; I have no idea there). In the Docs section of the web site you'll find a document on Bridging which also has good info. Like I said, I don't know about IPFILTER because I haven't used it, but I got a box running last night using IPFIREWALL and it works great. I'm using it right now, as a matter of fact- it's filtering my LAN traffic for me.
