IPFW2 can filter packets by MAC address --- is that what you're looking for?
In order to use IPFW2, you'll need to upgrade to a fairly recent
FreeBSD 4.6 or 4.7 version and do a buildworld, buildkernel cycle with
the correct options in /etc/make.conf and in your kernel config
file. (Or you might upgrade to 5-CURRENT, where IPFW2 is the default).
IPFW2 functionality was MFC's into RELENG_4 on 21 Aug 2002, so
anything later than that should work.
See Luigi's announcement on freebsd-stable/freebsd-ipfw for details:
